"The Constitution m its words is plain and intelligible, and it is meant for the 
homebred, unsophisticated understandings of our fellow-citizens." 

"The people alone are the absolute owners and uncontrollable movers of such 
sovereignty as human beings can claim to exercise; subject to the eternal and 
unchangeable rules of justice, of truth, and of good Faith. The moral law is out 
of its reach; sovereignty cannot violate that, and be more justified than the 
humblest individual." 

"Yield away the Constitution and the Union, and where are we? Frittered 
into fragments, and not able to claim one portion of the past as peculiarly our 
own! Our Union is not merely a blessing; it is a political necessity. We can- 
not exist without it. I mean, that all of existence which is worth having must 
depart with it. Our liberties could not endure the incessant conflicts of civil and 
conterminous strife; our independence would be an unreal mockery, our very 
memories would turn to bitterness." 

(Mr. Dallas in defence of the Constitution.)

PREFACE. 



The Constitution, as the fireside companion of the American 
citizen, preserves in full freshness and vigor the recollection of 
the patriotic virtues and persevering- courage of those gallant spirits 
of the Revolution who achieved the national independence, and 
the intelligence and fidelity of those fathers of the republic who 
secured, by this noble charter, the fruits and the blessings of inde- 
pendence. The judgment of the Senate of the United States has 
declared the importance of familiarizing American citizens, more 
extensively, whh this fundamental law of their country, and has 
approved its association with the examples of republican virtue and 
the paternal advice of the "Father of his country," joined to other 
kindred matter^ constituting the body of this work. To this honor- 
able body is due the credit of having provided for the first general 
promulgation of the Constitution, the continued dissemination of 
whose wise injunctions and conservative principles among the 
people, can alone preserve their fraternal union and the precious 
inheritance of freedom. 

That branch of the government which is clothed by the Consti- 
tution with legislative, executive and judicial powers, and thus 
invested with three separate authorities to preserve, protect, and 
defend this venerated instrument, has been pleased to take the initi- 
ative in a measure calculated so powerfully to support the Consti- 
tution, as that of giving it, in its simplicity and purity, to the peo- 
ple, who possess, themselves, the sovereign power to judge of the 
manner in which it may be executed, to rebuke its infraction, and 
to defend its integrity, and who therefore require every legitimate

yj^ PREFACE. 

aid to enable them to perform this vitally important duty in justice, 
truth, and good faith, for "The Constitution in its words is plain 
and intelligible, and it is meant for the homebred, unsophisticated 
understandings of our fellow-citizens." " It is addressed to the com- 
mon sense of the people." 

Several distinguished authorities and individuals having, in the 
plenitude of their liberality, honored the author and compiler with 
their sentiments on the subject-matter of the work, he claims the 
indulgence of the friends of the Constitution in giving them place 
in this edition, believing, that a salutary effect may be produced by 
the sanction of their special approbation, and the expression of their 
several views of the importance of an extended dissemination of that 
instrument. These may impress, in terms more unexceptionable, 
the obligation incumbent on every intelligent citizen to make him- 
self acquainted with its provisions, restrictions, and limitations, 
and of imparting, so far as the ability may extend, a knowledge 
of this paramount law of our country to the minds of the rising 
generation. 

The length of time required in the ordinary course of business, 
for obtaining a practical knowledge of the operations of govern- 
ment, by persons entering into public life, and their embarrassments 
for the want of a convenient mode of reference to the various 
sources of information, have suggested the utility of preparing, as a 
part of this work, and as germain to its design, a means of collect- 
ing and rendering available to the public interest the experience 
and information acquired in this respect, in the progress of time, 
by attention to the business of legislation in the public service. 
The five new chapters in this edition may therefore be considered 
an essay, to be improved and extended hereafter, with a view, not 
only to add to the intrinsic matter proper to be read and studied by 
the great body of American citizens, but to render it peculiarly a 
vade mecum to the statesman and legislator, the ministering to 
whose individual convenience must, necessarily, result in facilitat- 
ing the performance of arduous public duty, and in promoting, in 
no inconsiderable degree, the public interests.

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. 



James Madison, President of the United States, on entering 
upon the duties of the office, declared, that "to support the Consti- 
tution, which is the cement of the Union, as well in its limitations 
as in its authorities, and to favor the advancement of science and the 
diffusion of information, as the best aliment to true liberty," with 
other salutary sentiments and intentions, would be a resource which 
could not fail him; and added, " but the source to which I look for 
the aid which alone can supply my deficiencies, is the well-tried 
intelligence and virtue of my fellow-citizens, and in the counsels of 
those representing thern in the other departments associated in the 
care of the national interests." 

"To support the Constitution" by his talents, by his best ser- 
vices, and with his life, if required, is the firm and irrevocable de- 
termination of every true patriot; but the " support" presupposes 
a knowledge of that valued instrument ; and the knowledge can 
alone be expected to follow a careful reading and study of its letter 
and its spirit. To afford an opportunity to every American citizen 
to do this, is the object in the publication of the present edition. 

If, as Cicero informs us, in ancient Rome the very boys were 
obliged to learn the twelve tables by heart, as a carmen necessarium, 
or indispensable lesson, to imprint on their tender minds an early 
knowledge of the laws and constitution of their country, 

" Nocturna versate manu, versate diurna." 

If it was deemed important to the preservation of British liberty, 
in the earlier and better days of that country, that Magna Charta 



XX INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. 

should be authoritatively promulgated and read to the people — it 
is no less important to the preservation of American liberty, that 
every intelligent citizen should, by his own will and authority, 
aided by the liberality of the Government, possess a copy of this 
great charter of American liberty. 

There appears to have been no formal provision made by the 
Government of the United States for the promulgation of the Con- 
stitution, except by a concurrent resolution of the two Houses of 
Congress, made during the first Congress, (6th July, 1789,) whereby 
it was " Resolved, that there be prefixed to the publication of the 
acts of the present session of Congress a correct copy of the Con- 
stitution of Government for the United States.' 5 This, however, 
was sufficient to show the intention and the judgment of the Paires 
Patriae upon the subject. 

Every good citizen, capable of reading and understanding its 
meaning, is bound by duty to his country, if in his power, to pos- 
sess a copy of the Constitution. The compiler of this publication 
has added the Declaration of Independence, with invaluable matter 
claiming paternity of the " Father of his country," and other inte- 
resting information, and has so limited the cost of this Consti- 
tutional bouquet, as to enable the Government, should such be its 
pleasure, by a judicious and liberal investment in this provident 
stock — to lay up, for a time of need, a vast fund of available trea- 
sure in the minds and the hearts of the people, for the defence of 
their liberties and the perpetuity of their institutions — to sow the 
good seed in virgin soil, which might otherwise be occupied by 
noxious weeds. With diffidence it is submitted, that this national 
object may be practically effected by the distribution of barely so 
many copies as may place one in each village or neighborhood, 
which would introduce it to the knowledge of the people, who 
would then seek by their own means to possess it; and thus as a. 
mustard seed would it multiply, and its salutary principles be ex- 
tended. Nor could any means more convenient be proposed, than 
to intrust to the hands of the guardians of the Constitution in Con- 
gress the distribution, or the sowing of this good seed. It would 
appear from the tables of the last census, that there are, in the 



INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. XXI 

United States, upwards of three and a half millions of men, over 
twenty years of age, capahle of reading; and should there be only 
one copy furnished by the Government to every hundred men, a 
large portion of the other ninety-nine would, probably, by their own 
means, obtain it. 

Viewing the immense diffusion of printed political matter through 
all the villages and hamlets of the Republic, as the abundance of 
material provided by the generosity of the Government and zeal of 
private enterprise, as political food for the mind, this compilation 
may be considered as salt for the preservation of such as may be 
wholesome, or as lime to neutralize and destroy such as may be 
carious. It would be a test by which to separate the wheat from 
the tares and cockle — a crucible by which to separate the gold 
from the dross and base metal, or the cupel by which to try the 
current coin of politics, and a text book by which to judge of the 
orthodoxy of political disquisitions. 

By the British statute, " confirmalio cartarum" the great charter 
was directed "to be allowed as the common law ; all judgments 
contrary to it are declared void : copies of it arc ordered to be sent to 
alt cathedral churches, and read twice a year to the people ,•" whereby 
it was intended that the sanctity of the place should inspire a pecu- 
liar veneration for that noble structure of fundamental law — sacred 
to human liberty, civil and religious. 

According to Plato and Aristotle, "Lex est mens sine affectu, et 
quasi Dens" — the law is mind without passion, and therefore like 
God. Or, according to Grotius, " God approved and ratified the 
salutary constitutions of government made by men ;" while De- 
mosthenes declares, that "the design and object of laws is to ascer- 
tain what is just, honorable, and expedient ; and when that is dis^ 
covered, it is proclaimed as a general ordinance, equal and impartial 
to all. This is the origin of law, which, for various reasons, all 
are under an obligation to obey, but especially because all law is 
the invention and gift of Heaven, the resolution of wise men, the 
correction of every offence, and the general compact of the State ; 
to live in conformity with which is the duty of every individual in 
society." 



XXli INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. 

Bossuet remarks, that "If ths Roman laws have appeared so 
sacred, that their majesty still subsists, notwithstanding the ruin 
of the empire, it is because good sense, which controls human life, 
reigns throughout the whole, and that there is nowhere to be found 
a finer application of the principles of natural equity." 

Algernon Sidney adds, that "The Israelites, Spartans, Romans, 
and others, who framed their governments according to their own 
will, did it not by any peculiar privilege, but by a universal right 
conferred upon them by God and nature. They were made of no 
better clay than others ; they had no right that does not as well 
belong to other nations; that is to say, the Constitution of every 
government is referred to those who are concerned in it, and no 
other has any thing to do with it." — 

" Salus populi est lex suprema." 

fudge Blackstone remarks, that " every man, when he enters 
into society, gives up a part of his natural liberty, as the price of 
&j valuable a purchase ; and, in consideration of receiving the ad- 
vantages of mutual commerce, obliges himself to conform to those 
laws which the communit}^ has thought proper to establish. And 
this species of legal obedience and conformity is infinitely more 
desirable than that wild and savage liberty which is sacrificed to 
obtain it. For no man, that considers a moment, would wish to 
retain the absolute and uncontrolled power of doing whatever he 
pleases ; the consequence of which is, that every other man would 
also have the same power, and then there would be no security to 
individuals in any of the enjoyments of life. Political, therefore, 
or civil liberty, which is that of a member of society, is no other 
than natural liberty, so far restrained by human laws (and no far- 
ther) as is necessary and expedient for the general advantage of tho 
public. Hence, we may collect that the law, which restrains a 
man from doing mischief to his fellow-citizens, though it dimi- 
nishes the natural, increases the civil liberty of mankind. And 
Locke has well observed, " where there is no law there is no free- 
dom. " 

Socrates made a promise, with himself, to observe the laws of

his country ; but this is nothing more than what every good man 
ought both to promise and to perform : and he ought to promise 
still further, that he will exert all his power, when constitutionally 
called upon, to compel others to obey them. 

The compiler of this edition of our own venerated Constitution, 
to which he has with anxious labor prefixed a copious, and, he trusts, 
a faithful analytical index, believes that there are among his fellow- 
citizens many thousands of intelligent men capable of reading and 
understanding the great American charter of liberty, but who, with- 
out seeing and judging for themselves of " its limitations and its 
authorities," have, with a passive credulity, (which in other mat- 
ters of comparative insignificance, would have been indignantly 
spurned,) reposed their faith, their birthright, and their safety, on 
the opinions of others, whose impassioned, and sometimes vitupe- 
rative tones have appealed rather to the prejudices of the heart than 
to the integrity of the understanding. 

Mr. Dallas has well said, that "the Constitution in its words is 
plain and intelligible, and it is meant for the homebred, unsophisti- 
cated understandings of our fellow-citizens" To this sentiment, the 
compiler is indebted for suggesting to his mind the idea of publish- 
ing this edition of the Constitution, with its accompaniments ; and 
he therefore believed that there would be propriety and justice in 
the dedication of it to this distinguished statesman, and through 
him to the American people. 

The compiler, diffident of his own ability to do adequate justice 
to the subject, has called to his aid some of the most eminent 
authorities to sustain the inviolable sanctity of the law, and to im- 
press upon Americans a reverential attachment to the Constitution, 
as in the highest sense the palladium of American liberty; so that 
their judgment, as well as their affections, may be enlisted on the 
side of the Constitution, as the truest security of the Union, and 
the only solid basis on which to rest the private rights, the public 
liberties, and the substantial prosperity of the people composing 
the American Republic. 

He will next have recourse to the authority of the universally 

esteemed and lamented Justice Story, as to the high responsibilities 

of the people, and the proper means of guarding the inestimable 

*The 1st and 2d editions were dedicated to Mi-. Dallas, and the 3d, with his per- 
mission, to the people. &c, themselves.

rights they now enjoy. In reference to the Constitution of govern- 
ment he says : "It must perish, if there be not that vital spirit in 
the people, which alone can nourish, sustain, and direct all its 
movements. It is in vain that statesmen shall form plans of go- 
vernment, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be 
embodied in visible, order, shall be built up on solid substructions, 
and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the 
silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy 
supporters into dust ; if the assaults from without are never resisted, 
and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded 
against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, 
when they shall be abandoned by themselves 1 Who shall keep 
watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts 1 
Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and 
revive the republic, when their own hands have 3eliberately and 
corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the 
prisons or dug the graves of their own friends 1 This dark picture, 
it is to be hoped, will never be applicable to the Republic of Ame- 
rica. And yet it affords a warning, which, like all the lessons of 
past experience, we are not permitted to disregard. America, free, 
happy, and enlightened as she is, must rest the preservation of her 
rights and liberties upon the virtue, independence, justice, and 
sagacity of the people. If either fail, the republic is gone. Its 
shadow may remain with all the pomp, and circumstance, and 
trickery of government, but its vital power will have departed. In 
America, the demagogue may arise as well as elsewhere. He is 
the natural, though spurious growth of republics; and, like the 
courtier, he may, by his blandishments, delude the ears and blind 
the eyes of the people to their own destruction. If ever the day 
shall arrive, in which the best talents and the best virtues shall be 
driven from office by intrigue or corruption, by the ostracism of the 
press, or the still more unrelenting persecution of party, legislation 
will cease to be national. It will be wise by accident, and bad by 
system." 

"In every human society," says the celebrated Beccaria, "there 
is an effort continually tending to confer on one part the height of 
power and happiness, and to reduce the other to the extreme of 



INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. XXV 

weakness and misery. The intent of good laws is to oppose this 
effort, and to diffuse their influence universally and equally ;" and 
Montesquieu declares that, " In a free state, every man, who is sup- 
posed a free agent, ought to he concerned in his own government; 
therefore the legislative power should reside in the whole body of 
the people, or their representatives. The political liberty of the 
citizen is a tranquillity of mind, arising from the opinion each per- 
son has of his safety. In order to have this liberty, it is requisite 
the government be so constituted, as that one man need not be 
afraid of another. The enjoyment of liberty, and even its support 
and preservation, consists in every mail's being allowed to speak his 
thoughts^ and lay open his sentiments."" 

The compiler will next propose to his fellow-citizens the advice 
of a profound philosopher, as to the proper mode of preserving the 
independence of the mind, which is alike applicable to every free- 
born American citizen, and points out the means by which the na- 
tive talent, the integrity of heart, and the indomitable spirit of the 
people, guided by patriotism, will be rendered available in the pre- 
servation of the purity of the government, and of their own liber- 
ties. It is submitted, that a copy of this edition of the Constitu- 
tion be in the possession of every citizen capable of reading and 
understanding the meaning 1 of language, before whom the following 
instructions of Locke would then be placed : 

44 Reading is for the improvement of the understanding." 

M The improvement of the understanding is for two ends : first, 
for our own increase of knowledge; secondly, to enable us to de- 
liver and make cut that knowledge to others." 

44 1 hope it will not be thought arrogance to say, that perhaps we 
should make greater progress in the discovery of rational and con- 
templative knowledge, if we sought it in the fountain — in the con- 
sideration of things themselves — and made use rather of our own 
thoughts than other men's to find it ; for I think we may as ration- 
ally hope to see with other men's eyes, as to know by other men's 
understandings. So much as we ourselves consider and compre- 
hend of truth and reason, so much we possess of real and true 
knowledge. The floating of other men's opinions in our brains 
makes us not one jot the more knowing, though they happen to be 



XXVi INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. 

true. What in them was science, is in us but opiniatrety ; whilst 
we give up our assent only to reverend names, and do not, as they 
did, employ our own reason to understand those truths which gave 
them reputation. Aristotle was certainly a knowing man, but no- 
body ever thought him so, because he blindly embraced, or confi- 
dently vented, the opinions of another. And if the taking up ano- 
ther's principles, without examining them, made not him a philoso- 
pher, I suppose it will hardly make anybody else so. In the 
sciences, every one has so much as he really knows and compre- 
hends ; what he believes only, and takes upon trust, are but shreds, 
w r hich, however well in the whole piece, make no considerable 
addition to his stock who gathers them. Such borrowed wealth, 
like fairy money, though it were gold in the hand from which he 
received it, will be but leaves and dust when it comes to use." 

" How many men have no other ground for their tenets than the 
supposed honesty, or learning, or number, of those of the same pro- 
fession . As if honest or bookish men could not err, or truth were 
to be established by the vote of the multitude ; yet this, with most 
men, serves the turn." 

" All men are liable to error, and most men are, in many points, 
by passion or interest, under temptation to it. If we could but see 
the secret motives that influenced the men of name and learning in 
the world, and the leaders of parties, we should not always find 
that it was the embracing of truth, for its own sake, that made 
them espouse the doctrines they owned and maintained. This at 
least is certain, there is not an opinion so absurd which a man may 
not receive upon this ground. There is no error to be named, 
which has not had its professors ; and a man shall never want 
crooked paths to walk in, if he thinks that he is in the right way 
wherever he has the footsteps of others to follow." 

It is not hence to be inferred, however, that the opinions and the 
judgment of the wise and the good are to be disregarded, and more 
especially are we not permitted to treat with irreverence the politi- 
cal loctrines and maxims of the fathers of the republic, whose wis- 
dom and counsel, and devoted patriotism, gave being to the Decla- 
ration of our independence and the Constitution of our country. 
Tn the fundamental principles of our Government, on what can the 



INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. XXVil 

American mind and faith repose with as much confidence and 
safety as the expositions contained in the ''Federalist, an incom- 
parable commentary of three of the greatest statesmen of their age," 
in the extraordinary judgments of the supreme judicial tribunal, 
and the solid wisdom embodied in the constitutional commentaries 
of those who have imparted dignity and purity to the moral ermine 
which ornaments that" august tribunal? 

Nor can the American people look to any source more entitled 
to their confidence, for an exposition of the essential principles of 
our Government, and, consequently, those which ought to shape its 
administration, than to the farewell address of the iC Father of his 
country," (contained in this compilation,) and to the principles 
proclaimed by the "Fathers" of the memorable Declaration and of 
the immortal Constitution, when respectively " called upon to un- 
dertake the duties of the first executive office of our country." 

Thomas Jefferson declared those principles to be — " Equal and 
exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious 
or political ; for having banished from our land that religious intole- 
rance under which mankind so long bled and suffered, we have yet 
gained little, if we countenance a political intolerance, as despotic, 
as wicked, and capable of as bitter and bloody persecutions ; peace, 
commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alli- 
ances with none ; the support of the State governments in all their 
rights, as the most competent administrations for our domestic con- 
cerns, and the surest bulwarks against anti-republican tendencies ; 
the preservation of the General Government in its whole constitu- 
tional vigor, as the sheet-anchor of our peace at home and safety 
abroad ; a jealous care of the right of election by the people ; a 
mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword 
of revolution, where peaceful remedies are unprovided ; absolute 
acquiescence in the decisions of the majority, the vital principle of 
republics, from which is no appeal but to force, the vital principle 
and immediate parent of despotism ; a well-disciplined militia, our 
best reliance in peace and for the first moments of war, till regulars 
may relieve them ; the supremacy of the civil over the military 
authority; economy in the public expense, that labor may be 
lightly burthened ; the honest payment of our debts, and sacred 



XXVlll INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. 

preservation of the public faith ; encouragement of agriculture, and 
of commerce as its handmaid ; the diffusion of information, and 
arraignment of all abases at the bar of the public reason; freedom 
of religion ; freedom of the press ; and freedom of person under the 
protection of the habeas corpus; and trial by juries impartially 
selected. These principles form the bright constellation which 
has gone before us, and guided our steps through an age of revolu- 
tion and reformation. The wisdom of our sages, and blood of our 
heroes, have been devoted to their attainment : they should be the 
creed of our political faith ; the text of civic instruction ; the touch- 
stone by wmich to try the services of those we trust; and should 
we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us has- 
ten to retrace our steps, and to regain the road which alone leads 
to peace, liberty, and safety." 

James Madison, equally pursuing the principles of the Constitu- 
tion, declared the purposes of Government to be : 

" To cherish peace and friendly intercourse with all nations 
having correspondent dispositions ; to maintain sincere neutrality 
towards belligerent nations ; to prefer, in all cases, amicable discus- 
sion and reasonable accommodation of differences, to a decision of 
them by an appeal to arms ; to exclude foreign intrigues, and for- 
eign partialities, so degrading to all countries, and so baneful to 
free ones ; to foster a spirit of independence, too just to invade the 
rights of others, too proud to surrender our own, too liberal to in- 
dulge unworthy prejudices ourselves, and too elevated not to look 
down upon them in others; to hold the union of the States as the 
basis of their peace and happiness ; to support the Constitution, 
which is the cement of the Union, as well in its limitations as in 
its authorities ; to respect the rights and authorities reserved to the 
States, and to the people, as equally incorporated with, and essen- 
tial to the success of, the general system ; to avoid the slightest 
interference with the rights of conscience, or the functions of reli- 
gion, so wisely exempted from civil jurisdiction ; to preserve, in 
their full energy, the other salutary provisions in behalf of private 
and personal rights, and of the freedom of the press ; to observe 
economy in public expenditures ; to liberate the public resources 
by an honorable discharge of the public debts ; to keep within the

requisite limits a standing military force, always remembering that 
an armed and trained militia is the firmest bulwark of republics — 
that without standing armies their liberty can never be in danger, 
nor with large ones safe ; to promote, by authorized means, im- 
provements friendly to agriculture, to manufactures, and to external 
as well as internal commerce ; to favor, in like manner, the advance- 
ment of science and the diffusion of information, as the best ali- 
ment to true liberty ; to carry on the benevolent plans which have 
been so meritoriously applied to the conversion of our aboriginal 
neighbors from the degradation and wretchedness of savage life, to 
a participation of the improvements of which the human mind and 
manners are susceptible in a civilized state. As far as sentiments 
and intentions such as these can aid the fulfilment of my duty, they 
will be a resource which cannot fail me. But the source to which 
I look for the aids which alone can supply my deficiencies, is in 
the well-tried intelligence and virtue of my fellow-citizens, and 
in the counsels of those representing them in the other departments 
associated in the care of the national interests. In these, my confi- 
dence will, under every difficulty, be best placed, next to that which 
we have all been encouraged to feel in the guardianship and guid- 
ance of that Almighty Being whose power regulates the destiny of 
nations, whose blessings have been so conspicuously dispensed to 
this rising republic, and to whom we are bound to address our de- 
vout gratitude for the past, as well as our fervent supplications and 
best hopes for the future." 

The citizens of these United States were blessed with the virtue, 
the fortitude, and the perseverance to achieve their independence 
as a nation ; their patriotism and valor, both by sea and on land, 
brought them, with increased honor, through the " second war of 
independence," and through all the trials and difficulties by which 
they have, from time to time, been environed, both as respects their 
foreign and domestic relations ; and it is only necessary for them 
to have " light" as regards the fundamental law, and the operations 
of the Government, to enable them to judge of the fidelity of those 
whom they periodically intrust with the power which alone belongs 
to themselves as a nation of freemen, the proper use and application 
of which power is so vitally necessary to the preservation of their 

3* 



XXX INTRODUCTORY' REMARKS. 

own liberties and best interests, and the perpetuity of our insti- 
tutions. 

" Light, true light in the mind," says Locke, " is or can be no- 
thing else but the evidence of the truth of any proposition ; and if 
it be not a self-evident proposition, all the light it has, or can have, 
is from the clearness and validity of those proofs upon which it is 
received. To talk of any other light in the understanding, is to 
put ourselves in the dark, or in the power of the Prince of Dark- 
ness, and by our own consent, to give ourselves up to delusion ; for, 
if strength of persuasion be the light which must guide us, I ask 
how shall any one distinguish between the delusions of Satan and 
the inspirations of the Holy Ghost]" 

Subtleties and authoritative corruscations have been repudiated 
by pure and true-hearted sages and statesmen ; the advice of some 
of the most profound of whom, has been characterized by the sim- 
plicity of manner and of language in which they have borne wit- 
ness to truth. Judge Story has remarked, that " upon subjects of 
Government it has always appeared to me, that metaphysical refine- 
ments are out of place. A constitution of government is addressed 
to the common sense of the people, and never was designed for 
trials of logical skill, or visionary speculation." 

Of a constitution so wisely contrived, so strongly raised, and so 
highly finished, it is hard to speak with that praise which is justly 
and severely its due : the thorough and attentive contemplation of 
it will furnish its best panegyric. To sustain, to repair, to beau- 
tify this noble pile, is a charge intrusted principally to the people 
and their constitutional representatives, in all the branches of the * 
Government. 

If honor and confidence, in a pre-eminent degree, are, with a 
portion of their power, conferred by the people upon the Chief 
Executive Magistrate, the guardianship of the national honor is 
in no less a degree conferred upon their representatives in the two 
Houses of Congress, the intrinsic dignity of whose official cha- 
racter, in every moral point of view, transcends that of every other 
legislative assembly, in so much as our Constitution excels that 
of every other human government; and while the Constitution, 
practically animated by the people, thus confers honor and dignity 



INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. XXXI 

upon Congress, to them it is given to stand by the Constitution, 
in spirit and in truth, inflexibly maintaining its principles — the 
principles of union, of liberty, of justice, of domestic tranquillity, 
of common defence, and of the general welfare. The Constitution 
and the Government, thus reciprocally animating and being ani- 
mated, illustrates the beau ideal of good government — one of the 
choicest gifts of God to man. 

The protection of the liberty of the United States of America is 
a duty which they owe to themselves, who enjoy it; to their ances- 
tors, who transmitted it down ; and to their posterity, who will 
claim at their hands this, the best birthright, the noblest inherit- 
ance of mankind. 

To conclude, in the language of Judge Story — 

"If, upon a closer survey of all the powers given by the Consti- 
tution, and all the guards upon their exercise, we shall perceive 
still stronger inducements to fortify this conclusion, and to increase 
our confidence in the Constitution, may we not justly hope, that 
every honest American will concur in the dying expression of Fa- 
ther Paul, 'may it be perpetual !' "

CHAPTER I. 

THE CONSTITUTION, 

As here presented and authenticated by the certificate of the 
Secretary of State, after a continued correction of proof copies 
until every deviation from the original Constitution, however small, 
was completely removed, may with confidence he used as a true copy. 
The necessity for a close and continued attention to the execution 
of a copy of this important instrument, became manifest by the use 
of a printed copy (considered as correct) to print from, which, on 
being compared with the original, was found to contain several 
errors in the words, and sixty-five in the punctuation. This cir- 
cumstance led to a further comparison of copies, in several editions 
of the laws, printed by different individuals, and it was found, that 
one edition contained 204 and another 176 errors in the punctuation 
of the Constitution ! Many of these are material in the construc- 
tion of the sentences in which they occur. 

It was also discovered, that, in the original manuscript, capital 
letters were used at the beginning of substantives, or nouns, as is 
understood to have been the practice generally in writing and 
printing at the time the Constitution was written. These appear 
to have been altogether disregarded in the editions above referred 
to, except in words at the beginning of sentences. 

As the construction of important clauses may, sometimes, turn 
unon the punctuation, or the nature of a word, it is important that 

4* xli 



Xlil THE CONSTITUTION. 

the former be of the right measure, and that the proper value of the 
latter be manifest, before the mind can decide upon the true mean- 
ing, as intended by the wise and learned framers of that master- 
piece of composition, which bears the impress of the most minute 
and laborious attention to the construction of every particle of mat- 
ter constituting this noble fabric, the preservation of whose sim- 
plicity is the only safeguard to its integrity. 

These facts induced the determination to produce a true copy of 
the Constitution in text, orthography, letter, and punctuation, and 
the rigid examination, and subsequent verification of the Depart- 
ment having the care and custody of the venerated original, attest 
the success of the undertaking in the production of the following 
authentic Constitution.

The Conventions of a number of the States, having 
at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed 
a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of

DESIGN OF THE ANALYSIS. 



1. Every substantive matter, or point, contained in each article, 
section, or clause, embracing every subject, name and definition 
in the Constitution, has been arranged in alphabetical order. The 
entire clause in which each word so arranged occurs, being given. 

2. All similar words, names, or terms used in the Constitution 
being thus brought together, saves the time and trouble of reading 
over that instrument in search of supposed terms or provisions, 
which, if they cannot be found in this Alphabetical Analysis, will 
not be found in the Constitution. Under the head of each branch 
of the Government, as Congress, Senate, House of Representatives, 
Executive or President, Judiciary, &c, will be found every power, 
duty, privilege, and restriction belonging to each, and joint or con- 
current power with the other branches. In like manner, all provi- 
sions, regarding States, legislatures, persons, people, citizens, 
powers, offices, laws, elections, army, militia, navy, and every 
other subject contained in the Constitution, will all respectively, 
be found under one head. 

3. By this arrangement the entire instrument is resolved into its 
elements, while all clauses containing like terms or provisions are 
drawn together in close contact, by the strictly alphabetical posi- 
tion of the similar terms or words in each, which proximity brings 
the whole into one view, to be seen at a glance, and being thus 
presented to the mind at once, the connection is more easily im- 
pressed upon and retained in the memory.

CHAPTER 2. 

The Confederation having given place to the American Union, 
under the Constitution of the United States, it was considered un- 
necessary to insert, in the first and second editions of this book, the 
Articles of Confederation, which were agreed to by the Delegates 
of the thirteen Original States, in Congress assembled, on the 15th 
November, 1777; ratified by eight States, on the 9th July, 1778; 
and finally ratified by all the States, on the 1st March, 1781 ; 
but on further consideration, those articles have been inserted at pa^e 
471, merely as matter of history, as it w^ere out of place to mingle 
that inefficient form of government with the present approved 
and successful system, which has stood the test of more than half 
a century, and which is destined, under Divine Providence, not 
only to perpetuate the happiness and safety of the people 
of the United States, but to be the Great Exemplar of Nations, 
when governments shall, by the natural and just power of man, be 
brought to their legitimate purposes and uses — to establish justice, 
insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defence, pro- 
mote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to the 
people. 

The matter contained in this chapter exhibits the deplorable con- 
dition of the finances and credit of the government under the old 
form, and the incompetency of the Congress of the Confederation 
to raise a revenue, support the public credit, regulate trade or com- 
merce, or to provide for the w r ants and safety of the country ; and 
it is intended thereby to show the immediate and prominent causes 
that led to the abandonment of that inefficient form, and the adop- 
tion of the present system of government ; and, also, to show the 
official proceedings by which the change was effected and the pre- 
sent Constitution established. 

These facts and proceedings may prove a warning against the 

treasonable suggestions of the evil spirit, whose insidious and 

alluring temptations are, not unfrequently, directed towards the 

15 120 



130 

most ardent and honest citizens, whose zeal in the defence of the 
supposed interests of a part of the Union might induce them even 
to go so far as to calculate the value of the Union itself, and of the 
Constitution. By exhibiting the impotency of the measures adopted 
by the Old Confederation to provide for the wants and to secure 
the independence and safety of the people, the perusal of these 
proceedings will induce a due appreciation of the value of our 
inestimable Union, so firmly bound together by the conservative 
and protective principles of our noble Constitution, and will banish 
from the mind the least idea of a disorganizing tendency, or of 
relapsing into the enfeebled condition of the General Government 
before the adoption of the Constitution. The danger of extracting 
from the edifice one particle of the material which serves to sup- 
port its magnificent superstructure, is here practically made mani- 
fest, and every true-hearted American citizen will firmly resolve, 
with heart and hand, and sleepless vigilance, to guard the Union, 
fortified by the Constitution, as the citadel of our liberties — the 
object of our greatest care, and the consummation of our earthly 
hope. 



OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS, AND THE CAUSES WHICH 
LED TO THE ADOPTION AND RATIFICATION OF THE 
CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. 

It was early discovered by the patriots and statesmen of the Revolu- 
tion, that a bond of union, to connect the powers and means of the colo- 
nies for the common defence, was a measure of absolute necessity ; and 
hence the assemblage of a number of delegates, chosen and appointed 
by the several colonies and provinces in North America, to meet and 
hold a Congress in Philadelphia, at the Carpenter's Hall, on Monday, 
the 5th September, 1774. This Congress continued to act under the 
powers separately conferred upon the delegates by the respective colo- 
nies, until the time arrived when, from their patriotic ardor, the delicacy 
of their position, and the force of circumstances, a total separation from 
the mother country became necessary, and they were obliged to assume 
a noble stand among the nations of the earth. Simultaneously with and 
consequent upon the Declaration of Independence, a provision for an 



131 

adequate national government became so manifestly indispensable, that, 
on the 11th June, 1776, it was resolved that a committee be appointed 
to prepare and digest the form of a confederation to be entered into be- 
tween the colonies. After due deliberation, the Articles of Confedera- 
tion were agreed to, in Congress, on 15th November, 1777, subject to 
the ratification of the several States. The ratification by eight States 
was announced on the 9th July, 1778 ; but many objections were urged 
to these articles, and so reluctantly did some of the States part with a 
portion of their powers, that it was not until the 1st March, 1781, that 
these articles were fully ratified ; and no sooner were they ratified than 
(indeed before their final ratification) it was found that the powers con- 
ferred by them upon Congress were totally inadequate to the indispen- 
sable purposes of a national government. The defects first became ap- 
parent in the want of the necessary means of raising a revenue, and 
next in the absence of power to regulate or control the foreign trade and 
commerce of the country; and on the 3d February, 1781, a member 
from New Jersey moved a recommendation to the States that Congress 
be vested with additional powers to provide means for paying the public 
debt, and prosecuting the existing war, by laying duties on imports and 
prize goods. One of the States having refused to comply with this re- 
commendation, the subject was referred to a committee, by whom the 
following report was made : 

1. IN THE CONGRESS OF THE CONFEDERATION. 

Monday, December 16, 1782. 

The committee, consisting of Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Madison, and Mr. 
Fitzsimmons, to whom was referred the letter of 30th November, from 
the honorable William Bradford, speaker of the lower house of Assem- 
bly of the State of Rhode Island, containing, under three heads, the 
reasons of that State for refusing their compliance with the recommenda- 
tion of Congress for a duty on imports and prize goods ; report, 

That they flatter themselves the State, on a reconsideration of the 
objections they have offered, with a candid attention to the arguments 
which stand in opposition to them, will be induced to retract their dis- 
sent, convinced that the measure is supported on the most solid grounds 
of equal justice, policy, and general utility. The following observa- 
tions, contrasted with each head of the objections, successively, will 
furnish a satisfactory answer to the whole. 

First objection. "That the proposed duty would be unequal in its 
operation, bearing hardest upon the most commercial States, and so 



132 



would press peculiarly hard upon that State which draws its chief sup- 
port from commerce." 

The most common experience, joined to the concurrent opinions of 
the ablest commercial and political observers, have established beyond 
controversy this general principle, " that every duty on imports is incor- 
porated with the price of the commodity, and ultimately paid by the 
consumer, with a profit on the duty itself, as a compensation to the mer- 
chant for the advance of his money." 

The merchant considers the duty demanded by the State on the im- 
ported article, in the same light with freight, or any similar charge, and, 
adding it to the original cost, calculates his profit on the aggregate sum. 
It may happen that at particular conjunctures, where the markets are 
overstocked, and there is a competition among the sellers, this may not 
be practicable ; but in the general course of trade the demand for con- 
sumption preponderates, and the merchant can with ease indemnify him- 
self, and even obtain a profit on the advance. As a consumer, he pays 
his share of the duty ; but it is no further a burden upon him. The con- 
sequence of the principle laid down is, that every class of the commu- 
nity bears its share of the duty in proportion to its consumption, which 
last is regulated by the comparative wealth of the respective classes, in 
conjunction with their habits of expense or frugality. The rich and 
luxurious pay in proportion to their riches and luxury ; the poor and par- 
simonious, in proportion to their poverty and parsimony. A chief excel- 
lence of this mode of revenue is, that it preserves a just measure to the 
abilities of individuals, promotes frugality, and taxes extravagance. The 
same reasoning in our situation applies to the intercourse between two 
States ; if one imports and the other does not, the latter must be sup- 
plied by the former. The duty, being transferred to the price of the 
commodity, is no more a charge on the importing State for what is con- 
sumed in the other, than it is a charge on the merchant for what is con- 
sumed by the farmer or artificer. Either State will only feel the burden 
in a ratio to its consumption, and this will be in a ratio to its population 
and wealth. What happens between the different classes of the same 
community, internally, happens between the two States ; and as the 
merchant, in the first case, so far from losing the duty himself, has a 
profit on the money he advances for that purpose, so the importing 
State, which, in the second case, is the merchant with respect to the 
other, is not only reimbursed by the non-importing State, but has a like 
benefit on the duty advanced. It is, therefore, the reverse of a just po- 
sition, that the duty proposed will bear hardest on the most commercial 
States : it will, if any thing, have a contrary effect, though not in a suf- 



133 

ficient degree to justify an objection on the part of the non-importing 
States ; for it is as reasonable they should allow an advance on the duty 
paid as on the first cost, freight, or any incidental charge. They have 
also other advantages in the measure fully equivalent to this disadvan- 
tage. Over-nice and minute calculations in matters of this nature are 
inconsistent with national measures, and, in the imperfect state of hu- 
man affairs, would stagnate all the operations of government. Absolute 
equality is not to be obtained : to aim at it, is pursuing a shadow at the 
expense of the substance, and, in the event, we should find ourselves 
wider of the mark than if, in the first instance, we were content to ap- 
proach it with moderation. 

Second objection. "That the recommendation proposes to introduce 
into that and the other States officers unknown and unaccountable to 
them, and so is against the constitution of the State." 

It is not to be presumed that the constitution of any State could mean 
to define and fix the precise numbers and descriptions of all officers to 
be permitted in the State, excluding the creation of any new ones, what- 
ever might be the necessity derived from that variety of circumstances 
incident to all political institutions. The legislature must always have 
a discretionary power of appointing officers not expressly known to the 
constitution, and this power will include that of authorizing the federal 
government to make the appointments, in cases where the general wel- 
fare may require it. The denial of this would prove too much ; to wit, 
that the power given by the Confederation to Congress to appoint all 
officers in the post-office was illegal and unconstitutional. 

The doctrine advanced by Rhode Island would perhaps prove, also, 
that the Federal Government ought to have the appointment of no inter- 
nal officers whatever — a position that would defeat all the provisions of 
the Confederation, and all the purposes of the Union. The truth is, 
that no federal constitution can exist without powers that in their exer- 
cise affect the internal police of the component members. It is equally 
true, that no government can exist without a right to appoint officers for 
those purposes which proceed from and concentre in itself; and there- 
fore the Confederation has expressly declared that Congress shall have 
authority to appoint all such "civil officers as may be necessary for 
managing the general affairs of the United States under their direc- 
tion." All that can be required is, that the Federal Government 
confine its appointments to such as it is empowered to make by the 
original act of union, or by the subsequent consent of the parties ; un- 
less there should be express words of exclusion in the constitution of a 

15* 



134 

State, there can be no reason to doubt that it is within the compass ot 
legislative discretion to communicate that authority. 

The propriety of doing it upon the present occasion is founded on sub- 
stantial reasons. 

The measure proposed is a measure of necessity. Repeated experi- 
ments have shown that the revenues to be raised within these States is 
altogether inadequate to the public wants. The deficiency can only be 
supplied by loans. Our applications to the foreign powers on whose 
friendship we depend have had a success far short of our necessities. 
The next resource is, to borrow from individuals. These will neither be 
actuated by generosity nor reasons of state. 'Tis to their interest alone 
we must appeal. To conciliate this, we must not only stipulate a 
proper compensation for what they lend, but we must give security for 
the performance. We must pledge an ascertained fund, simple and pro- 
ductive in its nature, general in its principle, and at the disposal of a 
single will. There can be little confidence in a security under the con- 
stant revisal of thirteen different deliberatives. ft must, once for all, be 
defined and established on the faith of the States, solemnly pledged to 
each other, and not revocable by any without a breach of the general 
compact. 

'Tis by such expedients that nations whose resources are understood, 
whose reputations and governments are erected on the foundation of 
ages, are enabled to obtain a solid and extensive credit. Would it be 
reasonable in us to hope for more easy terms, who have so recently 
assumed our rank among the nations ? Is it not to be expected that in- 
dividuals will be cautious in lending their money to a people in our cir- 
cumstances, and that they will at least require the best security we can 
give? 

We have an enemy vigilant, intriguing, well acquainted with our de- 
fects and embarrassments. We may expect that he will make every 
effort to instil diffidences into individuals; and, in the present posture 
of our internal affairs, he will have too plausible ground on which to 
tread. Our necessities have obliged us to embrace measures with re- 
spect to our public credit calculated to inspire distrust. The preposses- 
sions on this article must naturally be against us, and it is therefore in- 
dispensable we should endeavor to remove them, by such means as will 
be the most obvious and striking. 

It was with these views Congress determined on a general fund ; and 
the one they have recommended must, upon a thorough examination, 
appear to have fewer inconveniences than any other. 

It has been remarked, as an essential part of the plan, that the fund 



135 

should depend on a single will. This will not be the case unless the 
collection, as well as the appropriation, is under the control of the United 
States ; for it is evident that, after the duty is agreed upon, it may, in a 
great measure, be defeated by an ineffectual mode of levying it. The 
United States have a common interest in an uniform and equally ener- 
getic collection; and not only policy, but justice to all the parts of the 
Union, designates the utility of lodging the power of making it where 
the interest is common. Without this it might in reality operate as a 
very unequal tax. 

Third objection. " That by granting to Congress a power to collect 
moneys from the commerce of these States, indefinitely as to time and 
quantity, and for the expenditure of which they would not be account- 
able to the States, they would become independent of their constituents, 
and so the proposed impost is repugnant to the liberty of the United 
States." 

Admitting the principle of this objection to be true, still it ought to 
have no weight in the present case, because there is no analogy between 
the principle and the fact. 

First. The fund proposed is sufficiently definite as to time, because it 
is only co-extensive with the existence of the debt contracted and to be 
contracted in the course of the war. Congress are persuaded that it is 
as remote from the intention of their constituents to perpetuate that 
debt, as to extinguish it at once by a faithless neglect of providing the 
means to fulfil the public engagements. Their ability to discharge it in 
a moderate time can as little be doubted as their inclination ; and the 
moment that debt ceases, the duty, so far as respects the present pro- 
vision, ceases with it. 

The resolution recommending the duty specifies the object of it to be 
the discharge of the principal and interest of the debts already contracted, 
or which may be contracted, on the faith of the United States for sup- 
porting the present war. 

Secondly. The rate per cent, is fixed, and it is not at the option of the 
United States to increase it. Though the product will vary according 
to the variations in trade, yet, as there is this limitation of the rale, it 
cannot be properly said to be indefinite as to quantity. 

By the Confederation, Congress have an absolute discretion in deter- 
mining the quantum of revenue requisite for the national expenditure. 
When this is done, nothing remains for the States, separately, but the 
mode of raising. No State can dispute the obligation to pay the sum 
demanded, without a breach of the Confederation ; and when the money 
comes into the treasury, the appropriation is the exclusive province of 



136 



the Federal Government. This provision of the Confederation (without 
which it would be an empty form) comprehends in it the principle, in its 
fullest latitude, which the objection under consideration treats as repug- 
nant to the liberty of the United States— to wit, an indefinite power of 
prescribing the quantity of money to be raised, and of appropriating it 
when raised. 

If it be said that the States, individually, having the collection in their 
own hands, may refuse a compliance with exorbitant demands, the Con- 
federation will answer that this is a point of which they have no consti- 
tutional liberty to judge. Such a refusal would be an exertion of power, 
not of right ; and the same power which could disregard a requisition 
made on the authority of the Confederation, might at any time arrest 
the collection of the duty. 

The same kind of responsibility which exists with respect to the ex- 
penditure of the money furnished in the forms hitherto practised, would 
be equally applicable to the revenue from the imports. 

The truth is, the security intended to the general liberty in the Con- 
federation consists in the frequent election and in the rotation of the 
members of Congress, by which there is a constant and an effectual 
check upon them. This is the security which the people in every State 
enjoy against the usurpations of their internal governments, and it is the 
true source of security in a representative republic. The Government, 
so constituted, ought to have the means necessary to answer the end of 
its institution. By weakening its hands too much, it may be rendered 
incapable of providing for the interior harmony or the exterior defence 
of the State. 

The measure in question, if not within the letter, is within the spirit, 
of the Confederation. Congress, by that, are empowered to borrow 
money for the use of the United States, and, by implication, to concert 
the means necessary to accomplish the end. But, without insisting upon 
this argument, if the Confederation has not made proper provision for 
the exigencies of the States, it will be at all times the duty of Congress 
to suggest further provisions; and, when their proposals are submitted 
to the unanimous consent of the States, they can never be charged with 
exceeding the bounds of their trust. Such a consent is the basis and 
sanction of the Confederation, which expressly, in the 13th article, em- 
powers Congress to agree to and propose such additional provisions. 

The remarks hitherto made have had reference principally to the fu- 
ture prosecution of the war. There still remains an interesting light in 
which the subject ought to be viewed. 

The United States have already contracted a debt in Europe, and in 



137 

this country, for which their faith is pledged. The capital of this debt 
can only be discharged by degrees ; but a fund for this purpose, and for 
paying the interest annually, on every principle of policy and justice, 
ought to be provided. The omission will be the deepest ingratitude and 
cruelty to a large number of meritorious individuals, who, in the most 
critical periods of the war, have adventured their fortunes in support of 
our independence. It would stamp the national character with indelible 
disgrace. 

An annual provision for the purpose will be too precarious. If its con- 
tinuance and application were certain, it would not afford complete re- 
lief. With many, the regular payment of interest, by occasional grants, 
would suffice ; but with many more it would not. These want the use 
of the principal itself, and they have a right to it ; but, since it is not in 
our power to pay off the principal, the next expedient is to fund the debt 
and render the evidences of it negotiable. 

Besides the advantage to individuals from this arrangement, the active 
stock of the nation would be increased by the whole amount of the do- 
mestic debt, and of course the abilities of the community to contribute 
to the public wants ; the national credit would revive and stand hereafter 
on a secure basis. 

This was another object of the proposed duty. 

If it be conceded that a similar fund is necessary, it can hardly be dis- 
puted that the one recommended is the most eligible. It has been 
already shown that it affects all parts of the community in proportion to 
their consumption, and has therefore the best pretensions to equality. It 
is the most agreeable tax to the people that can be imposed, because it 
is paid insensibly, and seems to be voluntary. 

It may perhaps be imagined that it is unfavorable to commerce ; but 
the contrary can easily be demonstrated. It has been seen that it does 
not diminish the profit of the merchant, and, of course, can be no dimi- 
nution of his inducements to trade. It is too moderate in its amount to 
discourage the consumption of imported goods, and cannot on that ac- 
count abridge the extent of importations. If it even had this effect, it 
would be an advantage to commerce, by lessening the proportion of our 
imports to our exports, and inclining the balance in favor of this 
country. 

The principal thing to be consulted for the advancement of commerce 
is to promote exports. All impediments to these, either by way of pro- 
hibition or by increasing the prices of native commodities, decreasing by 
that means their sale and consumption at foreign markets, are injurious. 
Duties on exports have this operation. For the same reason, taxes on 

M 



138 

possessions and the articles of our own growth or manufacture, whether 
in the form of a land tax, excise, or any other, are more hurtful to trade 
than impost duties. The tendency of all such taxes is to increase the 
prices of those articles which are the objects of exportation, and to ena- 
ble others to undersell us abroad. The farmer, if he pays a heavy land 
tax, must endeavor to get more for the products of his farm : the me- 
chanic and laborer, if they find the necessaries of life grow dearer by an 
excise, must endeavor to exact higher wages ; and these causes will pro- 
duce an increase of prices within, and operate against foreign com- 
merce. 

It is not, however, to be inferred that the whole revenue ought to be 
drawn from imports : all extremes are to be rejected. The chief thing 
to be attended to is, that the weight of the taxes fall not too heavily, in 
the first instance, upon particular parts of the community. A judicious 
distribution to all kinds of taxable property is a first principle in taxa- 
tion. The tendency of these observations is only to show that taxes on 
possessions — on articles of our own growth and manufacture — are more 
prejudicial to trade than duties on imports. 

The observations which conclude the letter on which these remarks 
are made, naturally lead to reflections that deserve the serious attention 
of every member of the Union. "There is a happy mean between too 
much confidence and excessive jealousy, in which the health and pros- 
perity of a State consist. Either extreme is a dangerous vice : the first 
is a temptation to men in power to arrogate more than they have a right 
to ; the latter enervates government, prevents system in the administra- 
tion, defeats the most salutary measures, breeds confusion in the State, 
disgusts and discontents among the people, and may eventually prove as 
fatal to liberty as the opposite temper. 

It is certainly pernicious to leave any government in a situation of re- 
sponsibility disproportioned to its power. 

The conduct of the war is intrusted to Congress, and the public ex- 
pectation turned upon them, without any competent means at their com- 
mand to satisfy the important trust. After the most full and solemn 
deliberation, under a collective view of all the public difficulties, they 
recommend a measure which appears to them the corner-stone of the 
public safety : they see this measure suspended for near two years ; par- 
tially complied with by some of the States; rejected by one of them, 
and in danger on that account to be frustrated ; the public embarrass- 
ments every day increasing; the dissatisfaction of the army growing 
more serious ; the other creditors of the public clamoring for justice ; 
both irritated by the delay of measures for their present relief or future 



139 

security ; the hopes of our enemies encouraged to protract the war ; the 
zeal of our friends depressed by an appearance of remissness and want 
of exertion on our part ; Congress harassed ; the national character suf- 
fering, and the national safety at the mercy of events. 

This state of things cannot but be extremely painful to Congress, and 
appear to your committee to make it their duty to be urgent to obviate 
the evils with which it is pregnant. 

Resolved, That Congress agree to the said report. 

2. IN THE CONGRESS OF THE CONFEDERATION. 

Friday, April 18, 1783. 

Resolutions were passed recommending to the several States to invest 
the Congress with certain specified powers for raising revenue to restore 
and maintain the public credit, &c. These resolutions were transmitted 
to the several States, with an address, prepared by a committee consist- 
ing of Mr. Madison, Mr. Ellsworth, and Mr. Hamilton, and adopted by 
Congress on the 26th April, 1783. The resolutions, as well as the ad- 
dress, consist, for the most part, of propositions and recommendations 
concerning the fiscal measures necessary to be adopted ; from the latter, 
however, it is considered proper to make the following extracts : 

" The plan thus communicated and explained by Congress must now 
receive its fate from their constituents. All the objects comprised in it are 
conceived to be of great importance to the happiness of this confederated 
republic, are necessary to render the fruits of the Revolution a full re- 
ward for the blood, the toils, the cares, and the calamities which have 
purchased it. But the object of which the necessity will be peculiarly 
felt, and which it is peculiarly the duty of Congress to inculcate, is the 
provision recommended for the national debt. Although this debt is 
greater than could have been wished, it is still less on the whole than 
could have been expected, and, when referred to the cause in which it 
has been incurred, and compared with the burdens which wars of ambi- 
tion and of vain-glory have entailed on other nations, ought to be borne, 
not only with cheerfulness, but with pride. But the magnitude of the 
debt makes no part of the question. It is sufficient that the debt has 
been fairly contracted, and that justice and good faith demand that it 
should be fully discharged. Congress had no option but between dif- 
ferent modes of discharging it. The same option is the only one that 
can exist with the States. The mode which has, after long and elabo- 
rate discussion, been preferred, is, we are persuaded, the least objection- 
able of any that would have been equal to the purpose. Under this per- 



140 

suasion, we call upon the justice and plighted faith of the several States, 
to give it its proper effect, to reflect on the consequences of rejecting it, 
and to remember that Congress will not be answerable for them. 

"Let it be remembered, finally, that it has ever been the pride and 
boast of America that the rights for which she contended were the rights 
of human nature. By the blessings of the Author of these rights on 
the means exerted for their defence, they have prevailed against all op- 
position, and form the basis of thirteen independent States. No instance 
has heretofore occurred, nor can any instance be expected hereafter to 
occur, in which the unadulterated forms of republican government can 
pretend to so fair an opportunity of justifying themselves by their fruits. 
In this view, the citizens of the United States are responsible for the 
greatest trust ever confided to a political society. If justice, good faith, 
honor, gratitude, and all the other qualities which ennoble the character 
of a nation, and fulfil the ends of government, be the fruits of our esta- 
blishments, the cause of liberty will acquire a dignity and lustre which it 
has never yet enjoyed, and an example will be set which cannot but 
have the most favorable influence on the rights of mankind. If, on the 
other side, our governments should be unfortunately blotted with the re- 
verse of these cardinal and essential virtues, the great cause which we 
have engaged to vindicate will be dishonored and betrayed, the last and 
fairest experiment in favor of the rights of human nature will be turned 
against them, and their patrons and friends exposed to be insulted and 
silenced by the votaries of tyranny and usurpation. 

"By order of the United States in Congress assembled." 



3. IN THE CONGRESS OF THE CONFEDERATION. 

Wednesday, April 30, 1784. 

Congress assembled. Present : New Hampshire, Massachusetts, 
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, 
Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. 

Congress took into consideration the report of a committee, consisting 
of Mr. Gerry, Mr. Reed, Mr. Williamson, Mr. Chase, and Mr. Jeffer- 
son, to whom were referred sundry letters and papers relative to com- 
mercial matters ; and the same, being amended, was agreed to as 
follows : 

" The trust reposed in Congress renders it their duty to be attentive to 
the conduct of foreign nations, and to prevent or restrain, as far as may 
be, all such proceedings as might prove injurious to the United States. 
The situation of commerce at this time claims the attention of the seve- 



h 



141 

ral States; and few objects of greater importance can present them- 
selves to their notice. The fortune of every citizen is interested in the 
success thereof, for it is the constant source of wealth and incentive to 
industry; and the value of our produce and our land must ever rise or 
fall in proportion to the prosperous or adverse state of trade. 

"Already has Great Britain adopted regulations destructive of our com- 
merce with her West India Islands. There was reason to expect that 
measures so unequal and so little calculated to promote mercantile inter- 
course, would not be persevered in by an enlightened nation. But these 
measures are growing into system. It would be the duty of Congress, 
as it is their wish, to meet the attempts of Great Britain with similar 
restrictions on her commerce: but their powers on this head are not ex- 
plicit, and the propositions made by the legislatures of the several States 
render it necessary to take the general sense of the Union on this 
subject. 

11 Unless the United States in Congress assembled shall be vested with 
powers competent to the protection of commerce, they can never com- 
mand reciprocal advantages in trade ; and, without these, our foreign 
commerce must decline, and eventually be annihilated. Hence it is ne- 
cessary that the States should be explicit, and fix on some effectual 
mode by which foreign commerce not founded on principles of equality 
may be restrained. 

11 That the United States may be enabled to secure such terms, they 
have 

"Resolved, That it be, and it hereby is, recommended to the legisla- 
tures of the several States to vest the United States in Congress assem- 
bled, for the term of fifteen years, with power to prohibit any goods, 
wares, or merchandise, from being imported into or exported from any 
of the States, in vessels belonging to or navigated by the subjects of any 
power with whom these States shall not have formed treaties of com- 
merce. 

'• Resolved y That it be. and it hereby is, recommended to the legisla- 
tures of the several States to vest the United States in Congress assem- 
bled, for the term of fifteen years, with the power of prohibiting the sub- 
jects of any foreign state, kingdom, or empire, unless authorized by 
treaty, from importing into the United States any goods, wares, or mer 
chandise, which are not the produce or manufacture of the dominions of 
the sovereign whose subjects they are. 

11 Provided, That to all acts of the United States in Congress assem- 
bled, in pursuance of the above powers, the assent of nine States shall 
oe necessary."

4. IN THE CONGRESS OF THE CONFEDERATION. 

Wednesday, July 13, 1785. 

Congress took into consideration the report of a committee, consisting 
of Mr. Monroe, Mr. Spaight, Mr. Houstoun, Mr. Johnson, and Mr. 
King, on a motion of Mr. Monroe, for vesting the United States in Con- 
gress assembled with the power of regulating trade ; and, the same 
being read, 

Ordered, That it be referred to a committee of the whole. 

Congress w&s then resolved into a committee of the whole. 

Mr. Holten was elected to the chair. 

The President resumed the chair; and Mr. Holten reported that the 
committee of the whole have had under consideration the subject re- 
ferred to them, but, not having come to a conclusion, desire leave to sit 
again to-morrow. 

Resolved, That leave be granted. 

[The following is the report referred to. It was afterwards farther considered; 
but Congress did not come to any final determination with respect to the consti- 
tutional alteration which it proposed. It was deemed most advisable, at the 
time that any proposition for perfecting the act of confederation should originate 
wit}, the State legislatures.] 

The committee, consisting of Mr. Monroe, Mr. Spaight, Mr. Hous- 
toun, Mr. Johnson, and Mr. King, to whom was referred the motion of 
Mr. Monroe, submit the following report : 

That the first paragraph of the ninth of the Articles of Confederation 
be altered, so as to read thus, viz : 

" The United States in Congress assembled shall have the sole and 
exclusive right and power of determining on peace and war, except in 
the cases mentioned in the sixth article — of sending and receiving em- 
bassadors — entering into treaties and alliances — of regulating the trade 
of the States, as well with foreign nations as with each other, and of 
laying such impost and duties upon imports and exports as may be ne- 
cessary for the purpose ; provided, that the citizens of the States shall 
in no case be subjected to pay higher imposts and duties than those im- 
posed on the subjects of foreign powers ; provided, also, that the legis- 
lative power of the several States shall not be restrained from prohibit- 
ing the importation or exportation of any species of goods or commodi- 
ties whatsoever; provided, also, that all such duties as may be imposed 
shall be collected under the authority, and accrue to the use, of the 
State in which the same shall be payable ; and provided, lastly, that 
every act of Congress for the above purpose shall have the assent of 



143 

nine States in Congress assembled — of establishing rules for deciding in 
all cases what captures on land or water shall be legal, and in what 
manner prizes taken by land or naval forces in the service of the United 
States shall be divided or appropriated — of granting letters of marque 
and reprisal in time of peace — appointing courts for the trial of piracies 
and felonies committed on the high seas, and establishing courts for re- 
ceiving and determining finally appeals in all cases of captures ; provided 
that no member of Congress shall be appointed judge of any of the said 
courts." 

That the following letter be addressed to the legislature of the several 
States, showing the principles on which the above alteration is pro- 
posed : 

The United States having formed treaties of commerce with the most 
Christian king the King of Sweden, and the states-general of the United 
Netherlands ; and having appointed ministers with full authority to enter 
into treaties with other powers, upon such principles of reciprocity as 
may promote their peace, harmony, and respective interests, — it be- 
comes necessary that such internal arrangements should be made as may 
strictly comport with the faith of those treaties, and insure success to 
their future negotiations. But, in the pursuit of the means necessary 
for the attainment of these ends, considerable difficulties arise. If tne 
legislature of each State adopts its own measures, many and very emi- 
nent disadvantages must, in their opinion, necessarily result therefrom. 
They apprehend it will be difficult for thirteen different legislatures, act- 
ing separately and distinctly, to agree in the same interpretation of a 
treaty, to take the same measures for carrying it into effect, and to con- 
duct their several operations upon such principles as to satisfy those 
powers, and at the same time preserve the harmony and interests of the 
Union, or to concur in those measures which may be necessary to coun- 
teract the policy of those powers with whom they shall not be able to 
form commercial treaties, and who avoid it merely from an opinion of 
their imbecility and indecision. And if the several States levy different 
duties upon their particular produce exported to the ports of those 
powers, or upon the produce and manufactures of those powers imported 
into each State, either in vessels navigated by and belonging to the citi- 
zens of- these States or the subjects of those powers, it will, they appre- 
hend, induce on their part similar discriminations in the duties upon the 
commercial intercourse with each State, and thereby defeat the object 
of those treaties, and promote the designs of those who wish to profit 
from their embarrassment. Unless the United States in Congress as- 
sembled are authorized to make those arrangements which become ne • 



144 

cessary under their treaties, and are enabled to carry them into effect, 
they cannot complain of a violation of them on the part of other powers. 
And unless they act in concert in the system of policy which may be 
necessary to frustrate the designs of those powers who lay injurious re- 
straints on their trade, they must necessarily become the victims of 
their own indiscretion. 

The common principle upon which a friendly commercial intercourse is 
conducted between independent nations, is that of reciprocal advantages ; 
and if this is not obtained, it becomes the duty of the losing party to 
make such farther regulations, consistently with the faith of treaties, as 
will remedy the evil, and secure its interests. If, then, the commercial 
regulations of any foreign power contravene the interests of any particu- 
lar State — if they refuse admittance to its produce into its ports upon the 
same terms that the State admits its manufactures here, — what course 
will it take to remedy the evil ? If it makes similar regulations to coun- 
teract those of that power, by reciprocating the disadvantages which it 
feels, by impost or otherwise, will it produce the desired effect? What 
operation will it have upon the neighboring States ? Will they enter 
into similar regulations, and make it a common cause? On the con- 
trary, will they not, in pursuit of the same local policy, avail themselves 
of this circumstance to turn it to their particular advantage ? Thus, 
then, we behold the several States taking separate measures in pursuit 
of their particular interests in opposition to the regulations of foreign 
powers, and separately aiding those powers to defeat the regulations of 
each other ; for, unless the States act together, there is no plan of policy 
into which they can separately enter, which they will not be separately 
interested to defeat, and of course all their measures must prove vain 
and abortive. 

The policy of each nation, in its commercial intercourse with other 
powers, is to obtain, if possible, the principal share of the carriage of 
the materials of either party ; and this can only be effected by laying 
higher duties upon imports and exports in foreign vessels, navigated by 
the subjects of foreign powers, than in those which belong to and are 
navigated by those of its own dominions. This principle prevails, in a 
greater or less degree, in the regulations of the oldest and wisest com- 
mercial nations, with respect to each other, and will, of course, be ex- 
tended to these States. Unless, therefore, they possess a reciprocal 
power, its operation must produce the most mischievous effects. Unable 
to counteract the restrictions of those powers by similar restrictions 
here, or to support the interests of their citizens by discriminations in 
their favor, their system will prevail. Possessing no advantages in the 



145 

ports of his own country, and subjected to much higher duties and re- 
strictions in those of other powers, it will necessarily become the interest 
of the American merchant to ship his produce in foreign bottoms : of 
course their prospects of national consequence muat decline, their mer- 
chants become only the agents and retailers of those foreign powers, 
their extensive forests be hewn down and laid waste to add to their 
strength and national resources, and the American flag be rarely seen 
upon the face of the seas. 

But if they act as a nation, the prospect is more favorable to them. 
The particular interests of every State will then be brought forward, 
and receive a federal support. Happily for them, no measures can be 
taken to promote the interests of either which will not equally promote 
that of the whole. If their commerce is laid under injurious restrictions 
in foreign ports, by going hand in hand in confidence together, by wise 
and equitable regulations, they will the more easily sustain the inconve- 
nience or remedy the evil. If they wish to cement the Union by the 
strongest ties of interest and affection; if they wish to promote its 
strength and grandeur, founded upon that of each individual State, — 
every consideration of local as well as of federal policy urge them to 
adopt the following recommendation.* 

The situation of the commercial affairs of the Union requires that the 
several legislatures should come to the earliest decision on the subject, 
which they now submit to their consideration. They have weighed it 
with that profound attention which is due to so important an object, and 
are fully convinced of its expedience. A further delay must be produc- 
tive of inconvenience. The interests which will vest in every part of 
the Union must soon take root and have their influence. The produce 
raised upon the banks of those great rivers and lakes which have their 
sources high up in the interior parts of the continent will empty itself 
into the Atlantic in different directions; and, of course, as the States 
rearing to the westward attain maturity, and get admission into the Con- 
federation, will their government become more complicated. Whether 
this will be a source of strength and wealth to the Union, must, there- 
fore, in a great degree, depend upon the measures which may be now 
adopted. 

A temporary power would not, in their opinion, enable the United 
States to establish the interests, nor attain the salutary object, which 
they propose : the expectation that it will revert to the States, and re- 
main with them for the future, would lessen its weight with foreign 

♦Alluding to the alteration proposed. See p. 142.

146 

powers ; and, while the interests of each State and of the Federal Gov- 
ernment continue to be the same, the same evils will always require the 
same correction, and of course the necessary powers should always be 
lodged in the same hands. They have therefore thought proper to pro- 
pose an efficient and perpetual remedy. 

[The subject was afterwards brought forward in the House of Delegates of the 
Commonwealth of Virginia, by Mr. Madison, whose proposed resolution and the 
proceedings thereon follow these proceedings in Congress.] 



5. IN THE CONGRESS OF THE CONFEDERATION. 

Wednesday, February 15, 1786. 

Congress assembled. Present : New Hampshire, Massachusetts, 
Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, and South 
Carolina. 

The committee, consisting of Mr. King, Mr. Pinckney, Mr. Kean, 
Mr. Monroe, and Mr. Pettit, to whom were referred several reports and 
documents concerning the system of general revenue, recommended by 
Congress on the 18th of April, 1783, report : 

" That, in pursuance of the above reference, they have carefully ex- 
amined the acts of the several States, relative to the general system of 
revenue recommended by Congress on the 18th of April, 1783, and find 
that the States of Delaware and North Carolina have passed acts in full 
conformity with the several parts thereof; the former of which States 
has inserted a proviso in their act, restraining the operation thereof until 
each of the other States shall have made a like and equally extensive 
grant; that the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, 
New Jersey, Virginia, and South Carolina, have each passed acts com- 
plying with that part of the system which recommends a general im- 
post, but have come to no decision on the other part, which proposes the 
establishment of funds, supplementary to and in aid of the general im- 
post ; that the State of Pennsylvania has passed an act complying with 
the recommendation of the general impost, and in the same act has de- 
clared that their proportion or quota of the supplementary funds shall be 
raised and levied on the persons and estates of the inhabitants of that 
State, in such manner as the legislature thereof shall from time to time 
direct ; with this proviso, that if any of the annual proportion of the 
supplementary funds shall be otherwise raised and paid to the United 
States, then such annual levy or tax shall be discontinued. The com- 
mittee conceive that this clause is rather an engagement that Pennsyl- 
vania will provide adequate supplementary funds, than an actual esta- 



147 

blishment thereof; nevertheless, the act contains a proviso restraining 
its operation until each of the other States shall have passed laws in full 
conformity with the whole of the revenue system aforesaid. The com- 
mittee further find, that the State of Rhode Island has passed an act on 
this subject, but so different from the plan recommended, and so wholly 
insufficient, that it cannot be considered as a compliance with any part 
of the system submitted for their adoption; that the State of Maryland 
passed an act in 1782, and a supplement thereto in 1784, complying with 
the recommendation of Congress of the 3d of February, 1781, which re- 
commendation is not compatible with, and was relinquished by, the re- 
solves of Congress of the 18th of April, 1783 ; but that neither the 
State of Maryland, New York, nor Georgia, has passed any act in pur- 
suance of the system of the 18th of April, 1783. 

"From this statement it appears that seven States — viz : New Hamp- 
shire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Virginia, North Caro- 
lina, and South Carolina — have granted the impost in such manner that, 
if the other six States had made similar grants, the plan of the general 
impost might immediately begin to operate ; that two other States — 
viz : Pennsylvania and Delaware — have also granted the impost, but 
have connected their grants with provisoes, which will suspend their ope- 
ration until all the other States shall have passed laws in full conformity 
with the whole of the revenue system aforesaid ; that two only of these 
nine States — viz : Delaware and North Carolina — have fully acceded to 
that system in all its parts ; and that the four other States — viz : Rhode 
Island, New York, Maryland, and Georgia — have not decided in favor 
of any part of the system of revenue aforesaid, so long since and so re- 
peatedly presented by Congress for their adoption. 

"The committee have thought it their duty candidly to examine the 
principles of this system, and to discover, if possible, the reasons which 
have prevented its adoption. They cannot learn that any member of the 
Confederacy has stated or brought forward any objections against it ; 
and the result of their impartial inquiries into the nature and operation 
of the plan, has been a clear and decided opinion that the system itself 
is more free from well-founded exceptions, and is better calculated to 
receive the approbation of the several States, than any other that the 
wisdom of Congress can devise. 

"In the course of this inquiry, it most clearly appeared that the re- 
quisitions of Congress, for eight years past, have been so irregular in 
their operation, so uncertain in their collection, and so evidently unpro- 
ductive, that a reliance on them in future, as a source from whence moneys 



148 

are to be drawn to discharge the engagements of the Confederacy, defi- 
nite as they are in time and amount, would be not less dishonorable to 
the understandings of those who entertain such confidence, than it would 
be dangerous to the welfare and peace of the Union. The committee 
are therefore seriously impressed with the indispensable obligation that 
Congress are under of representing to the immediate and impartial con- 
sideration of the several States the utter impossibility of maintaining 
and preserving the faith of the Federal Government by temporary requi- 
sitions on the States, and the consequent necessity of an early and com- 
plete accession of all the States to the revenue system of the 18th of 
April, 1783. 

"Although, in a business of this magnitude and importance to the re- 
sptcti/e States, it was natural to expect a due degree of caution, and a 
thorough investigation of the system recommended, yet the committee 
cannot forbear to remark that this plan has been under reference for 
neuly three years; that, during that period, numerous changes have 
taken place in the delegations of every State, but that this system has 
received the repeated approbation of each successive Congress, and that 
the urgency of the public engagements at this time renders it the un- 
questionable duty of the several States to adopt, without further delay, 
those measures which alone, in the judgment of the committee, can pre 
serve the sacred faith of the Confederacy.' ' 

"Thus it is evident that the sum of 2,457,987 25-90ths dollars only 
was received in the space of more than four years, when the requisitions, 
in the most forcible manner, pressed on the States the payment of much 
larger sums, and for purposes of the highest national importance. It 
should be here observed, that the receipts of the last fourteen months of 
the above period amount only to 432,897 81-90ths dollars, which is at 
the rate of 371,052 dollars per annum — a sum short of what is essentially 
necessary for the bare maintenance of the Federal Government on the 
most economical establishment, and in time of profound peace. 

" The committee observe, with great concern, that the security of the 
navigation and commerce of the citizens of these States from the Bar- 
bary powers, the protection of the frontier inhabitants from the savages, 
the immediate establishment of military magazines in different parts of 
the Union, rendered indispensable by the principles of public safety, the 
maintenance of the Federal Government at home, a»d the support of the 
public servants abroad, each and all, depend upon the contributions of 
the States under the annual requisitions of Congress. The moneys 
essentially necessary for these important objects will so far exceed the 
sums formerly collected from the States by taxes, that no hope can be 



149 

indulged of being able, from that source, to make any remittances for 
•he discharge of foreign engagements. 

11 Thus circumstanced, after the most solemn deliberation, and under 
the fullest conviction that the public embarrassments are such as above 
represented, and that they are daily increasing, the committee are of 
the opinion that it has become the duty of Congress to declare, most ex- 
plicitly, that the crisis has arrived when the people of these United States, 
by whose will and for whose benefit the Federal Government was insti- 
tuted, must decide whether they will support their rank as a nation, by 
maintaining the public faith at home and abroad, or whether, for want 
of a timely exertion in establishing a general revenue,- and thereby giv- 
ing strength to the Confederacy, they will hazard not only the existence 
of the Union, but of those great and invaluable privileges for which they 
have so arduously and so honorably contended/' 

Resolved, That Congress agree to the said report. 

And, to the end that Congress may remain wholly acquitted from 
every imputation of a want of attention to the interest and welfare of 
those whom they represent, 

Resolved, That the requisitions of Congress of the 27th of April, 
1784, and the 27th of September, 1785, cannot be considered as the esta- 
blishment of a system of general revenue, in opposition to that recom- 
mended to the several States by the resolves of Congress of the 18th of 
April, 1783. 

Resolved, That the resolves of Congress of the 18th of April, 1783, 
recommending a system of general revenue, be again presented to the 
consideration of the legislatures of the several States which have not 
fully complied with the same. That it be earnestly recommended to 
the Legislatures of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New 
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and South Carolina, which have com- 
plied only in part with the said system, completely to adopt the same , 
and to the Legislatures of the States of Rhode Island, New York, Ma- 
ryland, and Georgia, which have not adopted the said system, either in 
whole or in part, to pass laws, without further delay, in full conformity 
with the same. But, as it is highly necessary that every possible aid 
should, in the most expeditious manner, be obtained to the revenue of 
the United States, it is therefore recommended to the several States, 
that, in adopting the said system, they enable the United States in Con- 
gress assembled, to carry into effect that part which relates to the im- 
post, so soon as it shall be acceded to. 

Resolved, That, whilst Congress are denied the means of satisfying 
those engagements which they have constitutionally entered into for the 



150 

common benefit of the Union, they hold it thel± duty to warn their con- 
stituents that the most fatal evils will inevitably flow from a breach 
of public faith, pledged by solemn contract, and a violation of those 
principles of justice which are the only solid basis of the honor and 
prosperity of nations. 

6. IN THE CONGRESS OF THE CONFEDERATION. 
Friday, March 3, 1786. 

The committee, consisting of Mr. Kean, Mr. Gorham, Mr. Pinckney, 
Mr. Smith, and Mr. Grayson, to whom were recommitted sundry papers 
and documents relative to commerce, and the acts passed by the States 
in consequence of the recommendations of Congress of the 30th April, 
1784, report — 

That, in examining the laws passed by the States in consequence 
of the act of 30th April, 1784, they find that four States — namely, Mas- 
sachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Virginia — have enacted laws 
conformable to the recommendations contained in the act, but have re- 
strained their operation until the other States shall have substantially 
complied. 

That three States — namely, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Mary- 
land — have passed laws conforming to the same, but have determined 
the time from which they are to commence — the first from the time 
of passing their act, in May, 1785 ; and the two latter from the 30th 
April, 1784. 

That New Hampshire, by an act passed the 23d June, 1785, has 
granted full powers to regulate their trade, by restrictions or duties, for 
fifteen years, with a proviso that the law shall be suspended until the 
other States have substantially done the same. 

That Rhode Island, by acts passed in February and October, 1785, 
has granted power for the term of twenty-five years to regulate trade 
between the respective States, and of prohibiting, restraining, or regu- 
lating, the importation only of all foreign goods in any ships or vessels 
other than those owned by citizens of the United States, and" navigated 
by a certain proportion of citizens ; and also with a proviso restrictive 
of its operation until the other States shall have substantially complied. 

That. North Carolina, by an act passed the 2d June, 1784, has granted 
powers similar to those granted by Rhode Island, relative to foreign 
commerce, but unrestrained in duration, and clogged with a clause that 
when all the States shall have substantially complied therewith, it shall 
become an article of confederation and perpetual union. 






151 

That they cannot find that the three other States — namely, Delaware, 
South Carolina, and Georgia — have passed any laws in consequence of 
the recommendations. 

The result is, that four States have fully complied ; three others have 
also complied, but have determined the time of commencement, so that 
there will be a dissimilarity in the duration of the power granted ; that 
three other States have passed laws in pursuance of the recommenda- 
tions, but so inconsonant to them, both in letter and spirit, that they 
cannot be deemed compliances ; and that three other States have passed 
no acts whatever. 

That, although the powers to be vested by the recommendations do 
not embrace every object which may be necessary in a well-formed sys- 
tem, yet, as many beneficial effects may be expected from them, the 
committee think it the duty of Congress again to call the attention of 
the States to this subject, the longer delay of which must be attended 
with very great evils. Whereupon, 

Resolved, That the recommendations of the 30th April, 1784, be again 
presented to the view of the States of Delaware, South Carolina, and 
Georgia, and that they be most earnestly called upon to grant powers 
conformable thereto. 

Resolved, That the States of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and 
North Carolina, be solicited to reconsider their acts, and to make them 
agreeable to the recommendations of the 30th April, 1784. 

Resolved, That the time for which the power under the recommenda- 
tions of the 30th April, 1784, is to continue, ought to commence on the 
day that Congress shall begin to exercise it ; and that it be recommended 
to the States of Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Maryland, to amend 
their acts accordingly. 

7. IN THE CONGRESS OF THE CONFEDERATION. 

Monday, October 23, 1786. 

The committee, consisting of Mr. Pinckney, Mr. Smith, and Mr. 
Henry, to whom was referred an act of the Legislature of the State of 
Georgia, passed in consequence of the resolutions of the 30th April, 
1784, respecting commerce, and the subject of the said recommendation, 
having reported — 

11 That it appears, by the said resolutions, the United States in Con- 
gress assembled recommended to the legislatures of the several States 
to vest them, for the term of fifteen years, with powers to prohibit any 
goods, wares, or merchandise, from being imported into, or exported 



152 

from, any of the States, in vessels belonging to, or navigated by, the 
subjects of any power with whom these States shall not have formed 
treaties of commerce ; that they also recommended to the legislatures 
of the said States to vest the United States in Congress assembled, for 
the term of fifteen years, with the power of prohibiting the subjects of 
any foreign state, kingdom, or empire, unless authorized by treaty, from 
importing into the United States any goods, wares, or merchandise, 
which are not the produce or manufacture of the dominions of the sove- 
reign whose subjects they are : provided, that to all acts of the United 
States in Congress assembled, in pursuance of the above powers, the 
assent of nine States shall be necessary. The committee have carefully 
examined the acts passed by the several States, in pursuance of the 
above recommendation, and find that the State of Delaware has passed 
an act in full compliance with the same ; that the acts of the States of 
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, and 
Georgia, are in conformity to the said recommendation, but restrained 
in their operation until the other States should have granted powers 
equally extensive ; that the States of Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and 
Maryland, have passed laws agreeable to the said resolution, but have 
fixed the time at which the powers thereby invested shall begin to ope- 
rate, and not left the same to commence at the time at which Congress 
shall begin to exercise it, which your committee conceive to have been 
the intention of the same ; that South Carolina, by an act passed the 
11th March, 1786, has invested the United States in Congress assem- 
bled with the power of regulating the trade of the United States with 
the West Indies, and all other external or foreign trade of the said 
States, for the term of fifteen years from the passing of the said act ; 
that New Hampshire, by their act of the 23d of June, 1785, invested 
the United States in Congress assembled with the full power of regu- 
lating trade for fifteen years, by restrictions or duties, with a proviso 
suspending its operation until all the other States shall have done the 
isame ; that North Carolina, by their act of the 2d of June, 1784, has 
authorized their delegates to agree to and ratify an article or articles by 
which Congress shall be empowered to prohibit the importation of all 
foreign goods, in any other than vessels owned by citizens of the United 
States, or navigated by such a proportion of seamen, citizens of the 
United States, as may be agreed to by Congress, which, when agreed 
to by all the States, shall be considered as a part of the Articles of Con- 
federation and perpetual Union. From the above review of the acts 
passed by the several States in consequence of the said recommenda- 
tion, it appears that, though, in order to make the duration of the 



153 

powers equal, it will be necessary for the States of Connecticut, Penn- 
sylvania, Maryland, and South Carolina, so far to amend their acts as 
to permit the authorities therein granted to commence their operation at 
the time Congress shall begin to exercise them ; yet still the powers 
granted by them and by the States of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, 
New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia, and Georgia, are other- 
wise in such compliance with the recommendation, that, if the States 
of New Hampshire and North Carolina had conformed their acts to the 
said resolution, agreeable to the urgent recommendation of Congress of 
the 3d of March last, the powers therein requested might immediately 
begin to operate. The committee, however, are of opinion that the acts 
of the States of New Hampshire and North Carolina manifest so liberal 
a disposition to grant the necessary powers upon this subject, that their 
not having complied with the recommendation of March last must be at- 
tributed to other reasons than a disinclination in them to adopt measures 
similar to those of their sister States. The committee, therefore, con- 
ceive it unnecessary to detail to them the situation of our commerce, 
languishing under the most ruinous restrictions in foreign ports, or the 
benefits which must arise from the due and equal use of powers compe- 
tent to its protection and support, by that body which can alone bene- 
ficially, safely, and effectually exercise the same." Whereupon, 

Resolved, That it be again earnestly recommended to the Legislatures 
of the States of New Hampshire and North Carolina, at their next ses- 
sion, to reconsider their acts, and pass them in such conformity with the 
resolutions of the 30lh April, 1784, as to enable, on their part, the 
United States in Congress assembled to exercise the powers thereby 
invested, as soon as possible. 

Resolved, That, as the extent and duration of the powers to be exer- 
cised by the United States in Congress assembled, under the recom- 
mendation above mentioned, ought to be equal, it be recommended to 
the Legislatures of Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and South 
Carolina, so far to amend their acts as to vest the powers therein con- 
tained for the term of fifteen years from the day on which Congress shall 
begin to exercise the same. 

8. REMARKS ON PROCEEDINGS WHICH IMMEDIATELY 
LED TO THE FORMATION OF THE CONSTITUTION OF 
THE UNITED STATES. 

These extracts show the final efforts made by the Congress of the Con- 
federation to obtain from the States an increase of power for the purposes 

N 17 



154 

apparent in these proceedings. These exertions of the friends of liberty 
and the Union having proved unsuccessful, and having completely dis- 
closed the incompetency of the Confederation to provide for the credit 
and the wants of the country, or to fulfil the duties and obligations of a 
general government, manifested the necessity for that radical change in the 
system, under whose powerful and benign influence the United States have 
arrived at their present condition of strength, prosperity, and happiness. 

The active measures which immediately led to the accomplishment of 
this momentous object, appear to have commenced under the lead of the 
Commonwealth of Virginia, and through the patriotic zeal and sagacity 
of her eminent statesmen : justice, however, to the great State of New 
York, and to the distinguished individuals who, at that day, guided her 
councils, demands the insertion of the proceedings, which, it will be per- 
ceived, took place more than three years before those in Virginia, and 
point more clearly and directly to the necessity for adopting the present 
form of government than the resolutions of Virginia. The ostensible 
object of the latter appearing to have been, to vest the Congress of the 
Confederation with the power of regulating the general trade and com- 
merce of the country. The act of Virginia, however, led to the meeting 
of the commissioners of several States at Annapolis, who, being thus as- 
sembled, availed themselves of the idea adopted by the State of New Jersey, 
and incorporated in the commissions to her deputies inserted in this chap- 
ter, " extending the powers of their deputies to other objects than those 
of commerce," being " an improvement on the original plan, and will 
deserve to be incorporated into that of a future convention," &c. 

These facts prove, that the credit of producing the vital change in the 
government, which gave being to our glorious Constitution, does not 
belong to any particular State or individual, but resulted from the wide- 
spread conviction of the wise and honest men, and true patriots with 
whom the country was blessed at that critical and eventful period in its 
history, which will, no doubt, become more apparent on the completion 
of the fifth and sixth series of Colonel Force's documentary history of the 
Revolution. 

The proceedings in New York, appearing to have been consequent 
upon the condition of affairs as indicated in a previous resolution of Con- 
gress, and responsive to it, the insertion of that resolution previous to 
those proceedings, appears necessary to its proper understanding. 

9. IN THE CONGRESS OF THE CONFEDERATION. 

Wednesday, May 22, 1782. 
On the report of a committee, consisting of Mr. Madison, Mr. Root, 
Mr. Lowell, Mr. Rut ledge, and Mr. Clymer, to whom was referred a 
letter of the 17th, from the superintendent of finance, and who were in- 
structed to confer with the said superintendent : 



155 

Resolved, That Mr. Rutledge and Mr. Clymerbe appointed to repair 
forthwith to the several States southward of this, and Mr. Montgomery 
and Mr. Root to the States eastward ; and that they be, and hereby are 
instructed to make such representations to the several States, as are best 
adapted to their respective circumstances and the present situation of 
public affairs, and as may induce them to carry the requisitions of Con- 
gress into effect with the greatest despatch : that they make the like 
representations to the State of Pennsylvania, before they leave this city, 
(Philadelphia:) that previous to their departure, they confer with the 
superintendent of finance, the secretary of war, and the secretary for 
foreign affairs, who are hereby directed to communicate to them such 
information from their respective departments as may be most conducive 
to the end proposed. 

10. IN THE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF 
NEW YORK. 

Sunday, July 21, 1782. 
George Clinton, esq., Governor. 

A copy of certain resolutions of the honorable the Senate, delivered 
by Mr. Paine, were read, and committed to a committee of the whole 
house, to be taken into consideration with the message of the honorable 
the Senate, of the 19th inst., on the state of the nation. 

The house then resolved itself into a committee of the whole House, 
on the said resolutions, and the subject of the said message ; and after 
some time spent thereon, Mr. Speaker resumed the chair, and Mr. Clark, 
from the said committee, reported, that the committee had gone through 
the said resolutions without amendment, which he was directed to report 
to the House ; and he delivered the said resolutions in at the table, where 
the same were again read, and in the words following, to wit, viz : 

Resolved, That it appears to this Legislature, after full and solemn 
consideration of the several matters communicated by the hon. the com- 
mittee of Congress, relating to the present posture of our affairs, foreign 
and domestic, and contained in a letter from the secretary for foreign 
affairs respecting the former, as well as of the representations from time 
to time made by the superintendent of the finances of the United States, 
relative to his particular department — that the situation of these States 
is in a peculiar manner critical, and affords the strongest reason to appre- 
hend, from a continuance of the present Constitution of the Continental 
Government, a subversion of public credit, and consequences highly 
dangerous to the safety and independence of these States. 



156 

Resolved, That while this Legislature are convinced by the before -men- 
tioned communications, that notwithstanding the generous intentions of 
an ally from whom we have experienced, and doubtless shall still ex- 
perience, all possible support, exigencies may arise to prevent our receiv- 
ing pecuniary succours hereafter, in any degree proportioned to our 
necessities. They are also convinced, from facts within their own know- 
ledge, that the provisions made by the respective States for carrying on 
the war, are not only inadequate to the end, but must continue to be so, 
while there is an adherence to the principles which now direct the opera- 
tion of public measures. 

Resolved, That it is also the opinion of this Legislature, that the present 
plan instituted by Congress for the administration of their finances, is 
founded in wisdom and sound policy. That the salutary effects of it 
have already been felt in an extensive degree ; and that after so many 
violent shocks sustained by the public credit, a failure in this system, for 
want of the support which the States are able to give, would be produc- 
tive of evils too pernicious to be hazarded. 

Resolved, That it appears to this Legislature, that the present British 
ministry, with a disposition not less hostile than that of their predeces- 
sors, taught by experience to avoid their errors, and assuming the appear- 
ance of moderation, are pursuing a scheme calculated to conciliate in 
Europe, and seduce in America. That the economical arrangements 
they appear to be adopting, are adopted to enlarging the credit of their 
government, and multiplying its resources, at the same time that they 
serve to confirm the prepossessions and confidence of the people ; and 
that the plan of a defensive war on this continent, while they direct all 
their attention and resources to the augmentation of their navy, is that 
which may be productive of consequences ultimately dangerous to the 
United States. 

Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Legislature, that the present 
system of these States exposes the common cause to a precarious issue ; 
and leaves us at the mercy of events over which we have no influence : 
a conduct extremely unwise in any nation, and at all times, and to a 
change of which we are impelled at this juncture, by reasons of peculiar 
and irresistible weight ; and that it is the natural tendency of the weak- 
ness and disorders in our national measures, to spread diffidence and 
distrust among the people, and prepare their minds to receive the im- 
pressions the enemy wish to make. 

Resolved, That the general state of European affairs, as far as they 
have come to the knowledge of this Legislature, affords, in their opinion, 
leasonable ground of confidence, and assures us, that with judicious and 



157 

vigorous exertion on our part, we may rely on the final attainment of our 
object ; but, far from justifying indifference and security, calls upon us by 
every motive of honor, good faith, and patriotism, without delay, to unite 
in some system more effectual, for producing energy, harmony, and con- 
sistency of measures, than that which now exists, and more capable of 
putting the common cause out of the reach of contingencies. 

Resolved, That in the opinion of this Legislature, the radical source of 
most of our embarrassments, is the want of sufficient power in Congress, 
to effectuate that ready and perfect co-operation of the different States, on 
which their immediate safety and future happiness depend. That ex- 
perience has demonstrated the Confederation to be defective in several 
essential points, particularly in not vesting the Federal Government either 
with a power of providing revenue for itself, or with ascertained and pro- 
ductive funds, secured by a sanction so solemn and general, as would 
inspire the fullest confidence in them, and make them a substantial basis 
of credit. That these defects ought to be without loss of time repaired; 
the powers of Congress extended, a solid security established for the 
payment of debts already incurred, and competent means provided for 
future credit, and for supplying the future demands of the war. 

Resolved, That it appears evidently to this Legislature, that the annual 
income of these States, admitting the best means were adopted for draw- 
ing out their resources, would fall far short of the annual expenditure ; 
and that there would be a large deficiency to be supplied on the credit 
of these States, which, if it should be inconvenient for those powers to 
afford, on whose friendship we justly rely, must be sought for from indi- 
viduals, to engage whom to lend, satisfactory securities must be pledged 
for the punctual payment of interest, and the final redemption of the 
principal. 

Resolved, That it appears to this Legislature, that the aforegoing im- 
portant ends can never be attained by partial deliberations of the States 
separately ; but that it is essential to the common welfare, that there 
should be, as soon as possible, a conference of the whole on the subject ; 
and that it would be advisable for this purpose, to propose to Congress 
to recommend, and to each State to adopt the measure of assembling a 
general convention of the States, specially authorized to revise and amend 
the Confederation, reserving a right to the respective legislatures to ratify 
their determinations. 

Resolved unanimously, That this House do concur with the honorable 
the Senate, in the said resolutions.

I certify the preceding to be true copies of certain concurrent resolu- 
tions of the Senate and Assembly of this State, copied from the printed 
journal of the assembly in this office. 

ARCH'D. CAMPBELL, Dep. Sec. of State. 

Albany, July 30, 1847. 

11. IN THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES OF THE STATE OF 
VIRGINIA. 

Wednesday, 30th November, 1785. 

Mr. Alexander White reported, according to order, a resolution agreed 
to by the committee of the whole house on Monday last, respecting com- 
merce ; and he read the same in his place, and afterwards delivered it in 
at the clerk's table, where the same was again read, and is as fol- 
loweth : 

Whereas the relative situation of the United States has been found on 
trial to require uniformity in their commercial regulations, as the only 
effectual policy for obtaining in the ports of foreign nations a stipulation 
of privileges reciprocal to those enjoyed by the subjects of such nations 
in the ports of the United States, for preventing animosities which can- 
not fail to arise among the several States from the interference of partial 
and separate regulations ; and whereas such uniformity can be best con- 
certed and carried into effect by the federal councils, which, having been 
instituted for the purpose of managing the interests of the States in 
cases which cannot so well be provided for by measures individually 
pursued, ought to be invested with authority in this case, as being within 
the reason and policy of their institution: 

Resolved, That it is the opinion of this committee, that the delegates 
representing this Commonwealth in Congress be instructed to propose 
in Congress a recommendation to the States in union to authorize that 
assembly to regulate their trade, on the following principles, and under 
the following qualifications : 

1st. That the United States in Congress assembled be authorized to 
prohibit vessels belonging to any foreign nation from entering any of the 
ports thereof, or to impose any duties on such vessels and their cargoes 
which may be judged necessary ; all such prohibitions and duties to be 
uniform throughout the United States, and the proceeds of the latter to 
De carried into the treasury of the State within which they shall accrue. 
2d. That no State be at liberty to impose duties on any goods, wares, 






159 

or merchandise, imported by land or by water from any other State, but 
may altogether prohibit the importation from any State of any particular 
species or description of goods, wares, or merchandise, of which the 
importation is at the same time prohibited from all other places whatso- 
ever. 

3d. That no act of Congress that may be authorized, as hereby pro- 
posed, shall be entered into by less than two-thirds of the confederated 
States, nor be in force longer than thirteen years. 

A motion was made, and, the question being put to amend the reso- 
lution, by adding to the end thereof the following words, to wit : " un- 
less continued by a like proportion of votes within One year immediately 
preceding the expiration of the said period, or be revived in like manner 
after the expiration thereof," it passed in the negative: ayes, 28; 
noes, 79. 

On a motion made by Mr. Turberville, and seconded by Mr. Wat- 
kins, 

Ordered, That the names of the ayes and noes, on the question to 
agree to the said amendment, be inserted in the journal. 

And then the said resolution, being again read, was, on the question 
put thereupon, agreed to by the House. 

Ordered, That Mr. Alexander White do carry the resolution to the 
Senate, and desire their concurrence. 

Thursday, 1st December, 1785. 

On a motion made to the following effect : that the resolutions reported 
from a committee of the whole house, and agreed to by the House on 
yesterday, containing instructions to the delegates of this Common- 
wealth in Congress, respecting commerce, does not, from a mistake, 
contain the sense of the majority of this House that voted for the said 
resolutions ; 

Ordered, therefore, That the direction to send the said resolution to 
the Senate for their concurrence be rescinded, and that this House do 
immediately resolve itself into a committee of the whole house, to re- 
consider the said resolution. 

It was resolved in the affirmative : ayes, 60; noes, 33. 

The House then accordingly resolved itself into a committee of the 
whole house on the said resolution; and, after some time spent therein, 
Mr. Speaker resumed the chair, and Mr. Matthews reported that the said 
committee had, according to order, had the said resolution under their 
consideration, and had made several amendments thereto, which they 



160 

kad directed him to report when the House should think proper to re- 
vive the same. 

Ordered, That the said report do lie on the table. 

[With the same object in view, the General Assembly of Virginia eventually 
mrsued a different course to attain it, as will be seen by the subjoined resolution.] 

*2. IN THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES OF THE STATE OF 
VIRGINIA. 

21st January, 1786. 

Resolved, That Edmund Randolph, James Madison, junior, Walter 
Jones, Saint George Tucker, Meriwether Smith, David Ross, William 
Ronald, and George Mason, esquires, be appointed commissioners, who, 
or any five of whom, shall meet such commissioners as may be appointed 
oy the other States in the Union, at a time and place to be agreed on, to 
take into consideration the trade of the United States ; to examine the 
relative situations and trade of the said States ; to consider how far an 
uniform system in their commercial regulations may be necessary to 
their common interest and their permanent harmony ; and to report to 
the several States such an act relative to this great object, as, when 
unanimously ratified by them, will enable the United States in Congress 
assembled effectually to provide for the same : that the said commis- 
sioners shall immediately transmit to the several States copies of the 
preceding resolution, with a circular letter requesting their concurrence 
therein, and proposing a time and place for the meeting aforesaid. 

Test: JOHN BECKLEY, C. II. D. 

1786, January 21st. 

Agreed to by the Senate. 

H. BROOKE, C. S. 

By his excellency, Patrick Henry, esquire, Governor of the Common- 
wealth of Virginia, it is hereby certified that John Beckley, the 
person subscribing the above resolve, is clerk of the House of 
X. s.] Delegates, and that due faith and credit is, and ought to be, 
paid to all things done by him by virtue of his office. Given 
under my hand as Governor, and under the seal of the Com- 
monwealth, at Richmond, the 6th day of July, 1786. 

P. HENRY. 

[Certain other of the Slates came readily into the measure proposed, and a 
meeting of commissioners took place at Annapolis, whose proceedings are stated 
in the following report.] 



161 

13. ANNAPOLIS, IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND. 

September 11, 1786. 

At a meeting of commissioners from the States of New York, New 
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Virginia : 

present : 

NEW YORK. DELAWARE. 

Alexander Hamilton, George Read, 

Egbert Benson. John Dickinson, 

new jersey. Richard Bassett. 

Abraham Clarke, Virginia. 

William C. Houston, Edmund Randolph, 

James Schureman. James Madison, jun., 

Pennsylvania. St. George Tucker. 

Tench Coxe. 
Mr. Dickinson was unanimously elected chairman. 
The commissioners produced their credentials from their respective 
States, which were read. 

After a full communication of sentiments, and deliberate consideration 
of what would be proper to be done by the commissioners now assem- 
bled, it was unanimously agreed that a committee be appointed to pre- 
pare a draught of a report to be made to the States having commission- 
ers attending at this meeting. 

Adjourned till Wednesday morning. 

Wednesday, September 13, 1786. 
Met agreeable to adjournment. 

The committee appointed for that purpose reported the draught of the 
report ; which being read, the meeting proceeded to the consideration 
thereof, and, after some time spent therein, adjourned till to-morrow 
moniing. 

Thursday, Septemeer 14, 1786. 
Met agreeable to adjournment. 

The meeting resumed the consideration of the draught of the report, 
and, after some time spent therein, and amendments made, the same 
was unanimously agreed to, and is as follows, to wit : 

To the honorable the Legislatures of Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, 
*r Jersey, and New York, the commissioners from the said States, 
respectively, assembled at Annapolis, humbly beg leave to report : 
That, pursuant to their several appointments, they met at Annapolis, 

in the State of Maryland, on the Uth day of September instant, and 



162 

having proceeded to a communication of their powers, they found that 
the States of New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, had, in substance, 
and nearly in the same terms, authorized their respective commissioners 
1 ' to meet such commissioners as were or might be appointed by the 
other States in the Union, at such time and place as should be agreed 
upon by the said commissioners, to take into consideration the trade and 
commerce of the United States, to consider how far an uniform system 
in their commercial intercourse and regulations might be necessary to 
their common interest and permanent harmony, and to report to the 
several States such an act relative to this great object, as, when unani- 
mously ratified by them, would enable the United States in Congress 
assembled effectually to provide for the same." 

That the State of Delaware had given similar powers to their com- 
missioners, with this difference only, that the act to be framed in virtue 
of these powers is required to be reported "to the United States in Con- 
gress assembled, to be agreed to by them, and confirmed by the legisla- 
tures of every State." 

That the State of New Jersey had enlarged the object of their ap- 
pointment, empowering their commissioners "to consider how far an 
uniform system in their commercial regulations and other important mat- 
ters might be necessary to the common interest and permanent harmony 
of the several States;" and to report such an act on the subject as, 
when ratified by them, "would enable the United States in Congress 
assembled effectually to provide for the exigencies of the Union." 

That appointments of commissioners have also been made by the 
States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and North 
Carolina, none of whom, however, have attended; but that no informa- 
tion has been received by your commissioners of any appointment having 
been made by the States of Connecticut, Maryland, South Carolina, or 
Georgia. 

That, the express terms of the powers to your commissioners sup- 
posing a deputation from ail the States, and having for object the trade 
and commerce of the United States, your commissioners did not con- 
ceive it advisable to proceed on the business of their mission under the 
circumstance of so partial and defective a representation. 

Deeply impressed, however, with the magnitude and importance of the 
object confided to them on this occasion, your commissioners cannot for- 
bear to indulge an expression of their earnest and unanimous wish that . 
speedy measures may be taken to effect a general meeting of the States, 
in a future convention for the same and such other purposes as the situa- 
tion of public affairs may be found to require. 



163 

If, in expressing this wish, or in intimating any other sentiment, your 
commissioners should seem to exceed the strict bounds of their appoint- 
ment, they entertain a full confidence that a conduct dictated by an anx- 
iety for the welfare of the United States will not fail to receive an in- 
dulgent construction. 

In this persuasion, your commissioners submit an opinion, that the 
idea of extending the powers of their deputies to other objects than 
♦hose of commerce, which has been adopted by the State of New Jersey, 
was an improvement on the original plan, and will deserve to be incor- 
porated into that of a future convention. They are the more naturally 
led to this conclusion, as, in the course of their reflections on the sub- 
ject, they have been induced to think that the power of regulating trade 
is of such comprehensive extent, and will enter so far into the general 
:n of the Federal Government, that to give it efficacy, and to ob- 
viate questions and doubts concerning its precise nature and limits, may 
require a correspondent adjustment of other parts of the federal system. 

That there are important defects in the system of the Federal Govern- 
ment, is acknowledged by the acts of all those States which have con- 
curred in the present meeting ; that the defects, upon a closer examina- 
tion, may be found greater and more numerous than even these acts im- 
ply, is at least so far probable, from the embarrassments which charac- 
terize the present state of our national affairs, foreign and domestic, as 
may reasonably be supposed to merit a deliberate and candid discussion, 
in some mode which will unite the sentiments and councils of all the 
States. In the choice of the mode, your commissioners are of opinion 
that a convention of deputies from the different States, for the special 
and sole purpose of entering into this investigation, and digesting a plan 
for supplying such defects as may be discovered to exist, will be entitled 
to a preference, from considerations which will occur without being par- 
ticularized. 

Your -commissioners decline an enumeration of those national circum- 
stances on which their opinion respecting the propriety of a future con- 
vention, with more enlarged powers, is founded, as it would be an use- 
less intrusion of facts and observations, most of which have been fre- 
quently the subject of public discussion, and none of which can have 
escaped the penetration of those to whom they would in this instance be 
addressed. They are, however, of a nature so serious, as, in the view 
of your commissioners, to render the situation of the United States deli- 
cate and critical, calling for an exertion of the united virtue and wisdom 
of all the members of the Confederacy. 

Under this impression, your commissioners, with the most respectful 



164 



deference, beg leave to suggest their unanimous conviction, that it may 
essentially tend to advance the interests of the Union, if the States, by 
whom they have been respectively delegated, would themselves concur, 
and use their endeavors to procure the concurrence of the other States in 
the appointment of commissioners, to meet at Philadelphia on the second 
Monday in May next, to take into consideration the situation of the 
United States, to devise such further provisions as shall appear to them 
necessary to render the Constitution of the Federal Government adequate 
to the exigencies of the Union ; and to report such an act for that purpose 
to the United States in Congress assembled, as, when agreed to by them, 
and afterwards confirmed by the legislatures of every State, will effectu- 
ally provide for the same. 

Though your commissioners could not with propriety address these 
observations and sentiments to any but the States they have the honor 
to represent, they have nevertheless concluded, from motives of respect, to 
transmit copies of this report to the United States in Congress assembled, 
and to the executives of the other States. 
By order of the commissioners. 

Dated at Annapolis, September 14, 1786. 

Resolved, That the chairman sign the aforegoing report in behalf of 
the commissioners. 

Then adjourned without day.

14. IN THE CONGRESS OF THE CONFEDERATION. 

Wednesday, February 21, 1787. 

Congress assembled: Present, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con- 
necticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, 
Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. 

The report of a Grand Committee, consisting of Mr. Dane, Mr. Var- 
num, Mr. S. M. Mitchell, Mr. Smith, Mr. Cadwallader, Mr. Irvine, 
Mr. N. Mitchell. Mr. Forrest, Mr. Grayson, Mr. Blount, Mr. Bull, and 






165 

Air. Few, to whom was referred a letter of 14th September, 1786, from 
J. Dickinson, written at the request of commissioners from the States of 
Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York, as- 
sembled at the city of Annapolis, together with a copy of the report of 
the said commissioners to the legislatures of the States by whom they 
were appointed, being an order of the day, was called up, and which is 
contained in the following resolution, viz : 

11 Congress having had under consideration the letter of John Dickin- 
son, esq., chairman of the commissioners who assembled at Annapolis 
during the last year ; also the proceedings of the said commissioners ; 
and entirely coinciding with them, as to the inefficiency of the Federal 
Government, and the necessity of devising such farther provisions as 
shall render the same adequate to the exigencies of the Union, do strongly 
recommend to the different legislatures to send forward delegates, to meet 
the proposed convention, on the second Monday in May next, at the city 
of Philadelphia." 

The delegates for the State of New York thereupon laid before Con- 
gress instructions which they had received from their constituents, and, 
in pursuance of the said instructions, moved to postpone the further con- 
sideration of the report, in order to take up the following propositions, viz : 

" That it be recommended to the States composing the Union that a 
convention of representatives from the said States respectively, be held 
at , on , for the purpose of revising the Articles of Con- 

federation and perpetual union between the United States of America, 
and reporting to the United States in Congress assembled, and to the 
States respectively, such alterations and amendments of the said Articles 
of Confederation, as the representatives met in such convention shall 
judge proper and necessary to render them adequate to the preservation 
and support of the Union." 

On the question to postpone, for the purpose above mentioned, the yeas 
and nays being required by the delegates for New York,

pone the further consideration of the report, in order to take into con- 
sideration a motion which they read in their place ; this being agreed to, 
the motion of the delegates for Massachusetts was taken up, and, being 
amended, was agreed to, as follows : 

Whereas there is provision in the Articles of Confederation and per- 
petual Union, for making alterations therein, by the assent of a Congress 
of the United States, and of the legislatures of the several States ; and 
whereas experience hath evinced that there are defects in the present 
Confederation, as a mean to remedy which several of the States, and par- 
ticularly the State of New York, by express instructions to their delegates 
in Congress, have suggested a convention for the purposes expressed in 
the following resolution ; and such convention appearing to be the most 
probable mean of establishing in these States a firm National Govern- 
ment : 

Resolved, That, in the opinion of Congress, it is expedient, that, on 
the second Monday in May next, a convention of delegates, who shall 
have been appointed by the several States, be held at Philadelphia, for 
the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation, 
and reporting to Congress, and the several legislatures, such alterations 
and provisions therein as shall, when agreed to in Congress, and con- 
firmed by the States, render the Federal Constitution adequate to the 
exigencies of Government, and the preservation of the Union.

15. Acts of the several States for the appointment of Deputies to meet 
in Convention, for the purpose of forming a Constitution of Govern- 
ment, viz : 

COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA. 
General Assembly, begun and held at the public buildings in the city of 
Richmond, on Monday, the 16th day of October, in the year of our 
Lord 1786. 
AN ACT for appointing Deputies from this Common wealth to a Conven- 
tion proposed to be held in the city of Philadelphia, in May next, for 
the purpose of revising the Federal Constitution. 

Whereas the commissioners who assembled at Annapolis, on the 14th 
day of September last, for the purpose of devising and reporting the 
means of enabling Congress to provide effectually for the commercial 
interests of the United States, have represented the necessity of extending 
the revision of the Federal system to all its defects, and have recom- 
mended that deputies for that purpose be appointed by the several legis- 
latures, to meet in convention, in the city of Philadelphia, on the second 
day of May next, a provision which was preferable to a discussion of the 
subject in Congress, where it might be too much interrupted by the ordi- 
nary business before them, and where it would, besides, be deprived of 
the valuable counsels of sundry individuals who are disqualified by the 
Constitution, or laws of particular States, or restrained by peculiar cir- 
cumstances, from a seat in that assembly : And whereas the General 
Assembly of this Commonwealth, taking into view the actual situation 
of the Confederacy, as well as reflecting on the alarming representations 
made, from time to time, by the United States in Congress, particularly 
in their act of the 15th day of February last, can no longer doubt that the 
crisis is arrived at which the good people of America are to decide the 
solemn question, whether they will, by wise and magnanimous efforts, 
reap the just fruits of that independence which they have so gloriously 
acquired, and of that Union which they have cemented with so much of 
their common blood, or whether, by giving way to unmanly jealousies 
and prejudices, or to partial and transitory interests, they will renounce 
the auspicious blessings prepared for them by the Revolution, and furnish 
to its enemies an eventual triumph over those by whose virtue and valor 
it has been accomplished : And whereas the same noble and extended 
policy, and the same fraternal and affectionate sentiments which origin- 
ally determined the citizens of this Commonwealth to unite with their 
brethren of the other States in establishing a Federal Government, can- 
not but be felt with equal force now as motives to lay aside every inferior 



168 

consideration, and to concur in such farther concessions and provisions 
as may be necessary to secure the great objects for which that Govern- 
ment was instituted, and to render the United States as happy in peace 
as they have been glorious in war : • 

Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth 
of Virginia, That seven commissioners be appointed by joint ballot of 
both Houses of Assembly, who, or any three of them, are hereby au- 
thorized, as deputies from this Commonwealth, to meet such deputies 
as may be appointed and authorized by other States, to assemble in con- 
vention at Philadelphia, as above recommended, and to join with them 
in devising and discussing all such alterations and farther provisions as 
may be necessary to render the Federal. Constitution adequate to the exi- 
gencies of the Union, and, in reporting such an act for that purpose to 
the United States in Congress, as, when agreed to by them, and duly con- 
firmed by the several States, will effectually provide for the same. 

And be it further enacted, That, in case of the death of any of the 
said deputies, or of their declining their appointments, the executive are 
hereby authorized to supply such vacancies ; and the Governor is re- 
quested to transmit forthwith a copy of this act to the United States in 
Congress, and to the executives of each of the States in the Union.

STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. 
In the year of our Lord 1787. 
AN ACT for appointing deputies from this State to the convention, pro- 
posed to be holden in the city of Philadelphia, in May, 1787, for the 
purpose of revising the Federal Constitution. 

Whereas, in the formation of the Federal compact, which frames the 
bond of union of the American States, it was not possible in the infant 
state of our republic to devise a system which, in the course of time and 
experience, would not manifest imperfections that it would be necessary 
to reform. 

And whereas the limited powers, which by the Articles of Confedera- 
tion are vested in the Congress of the United States, have been found 
far inadequate to the enlarged purposes which they were intended to 
produce. And whereas Congress hath, by repeated and most urgent 
representations, endeavored to aw T aken this and other States of the Union 
to a sense of the truly critical and alarming situation in which they may 
inevitably be involved, unless timely measures be taken to enlarge the 
powers of Congress, that they may be thereby enabled to avert the danger 
which threaten our existence as a free and independent people. And 
w r hereas this State hath been ever desirous to act upon the liberal system 
of the general good of the United States, without circumscribing its views 
to the narrow and selfish objects of partial convenience, and has been at 
all times ready to make every concession to the safety and happiness of 
the whole, which justice and sound policy could vindicate. 

Be it therefore enacted, by the Senate and House of Representatives in 
general court convened, that John Langdon, John Pickering, Nicholas 
Gilman, and Benjamin West, esqrs., be, and hereby are appointed com- 
missioners ; they, or any two of them, are hereby authorized and em- 
powered, as deputies from this State, to meet at Philadelphia said 
convention, or any other place to which the convention may be ad- 
journed, for the purposes aforesaid, there to confer with such deputies as 
are, or may be, appointed by the other States for similar purposes, and 
with them to discuss and decide upon the most effectual means to remedy 
the defects of our Federal Union, and to procure and secure the enlarged 
purposes which it was intended to effect, and to report such an act to the 
United States in Congress, as, when agreed to by them, and duly con- 
firmed by the several States, will effectually provide for the same.

16. In pursuance of the foregoing powers, the Delegates met in 
Convention at Philadelphia on the 14th day, being the second Mon- 
day in May, A. D. 1787, and on the 17th of September, 1787, 
agreed to the Constitution as contained in the preceding part of 
this compilation, [from page 1 to 23,] which they transmitted to 
the United States in Congress assembled, together with the fol- 
lowing resolutions and letter: 

In Convention, Monday, September 17, 1787. 
Present : The States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, 

Mr. Hamilton from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, 

Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. 

Resolved, That the preceding Constitution be laid before the United 
States in Congress assembled, and that it is the opinion of this conven- 
tion that it should afterwards be submitted to a convention of delegates, 
chosen in each State by the people thereof, under the recommendation 
of its legislature, for their assent and ratification; and that each conven- 
tion, assenting to and ratifying the same, should give notice thereof, to 
the United States in Congress assembled. 

Resolved, That it is the opinion of this convention, that as soon as the 
conventions of nine States shall have ratified this Constitution, the United 
States in Congress assembled should fix a day on which electors should 
be appointed by the States which shall have ratified the same, and a day 
on which the electors should assemble to vote for the President, and the 
time and place for commencing proceedings under this Constitution. 
That after such publication the electors should be appointed, and the 
Senators and Representatives elected ; that the electors should meet on 
the day fixed for the election of the President, and should transmit their 
votes certified, signed, sealed, and directed, as the Constitution requires, 



188 

to the Secretary of the United States in Congress assembled ; that the 
Senators and Representatives should convene at the time and place as- 
signed ; that the Senators should appoint a president of the Senate, for 
the sole purpose of receiving, opening, and counting the votes for Presi- 
dent ; and that, after he shall be chosen, the Congress, together with the 
President, should without delay, proceed to execute this Constitution. 

By the unanimous order of the convention. 

GEORGE WASHINGTON, President. 

William Jackson, Secretary. 

In Convention, September 17, 1787. 

Sir : We have now the honor to submit to the consideration of the 
United States in Congress assembled, that Constitution which has ap- 
peared to us the most advisable. 

The friends of our country have long seen and desired that the power 
of making war, peace, and treaties, that of levying money and regulating 
commerce, and the correspondent executive and judicial authorities, 
should be fully and effectually vested in the General Government of the 
Union ; but the impropriety of delegating such extensive trust to one 
body of men is evident : hence results the necessity of a different 
organization. 

It is obviously impracticable, in the Federal Government of these 
States, to secure all rights of independent sovereignty to each, and yet 
provide for the interest and safety of all. Individuals entering into so- 
ciety must give up a share of liberty to preserve the rest. The magni- 
tude of the sacrifice must depend as well on situation and circumstance 
as on the object to be obtained. It is at all times difficult to draw with 
precision the line between those rights which must be surrendered and 
those which may be reserved ; and on the present occasion this difficulty 
was increased by a difference among the several States as to their situa- 
tion, extent, habits, and particular interests. 

In all our deliberations on this subject, we kept steadily in our view 
that which appears to us the greatest interest of every true American — 
the consolidation of our Union — in which is involved our prosperity, 
felicity, safety, perhaps our national existence. This important conside- 
ration, seriously and deeply impressed on our minds, led each State in 
the convention to be less rigid on points of inferior magnitude than might 
have been otherwise expected; and thus the Constitution which we 
now present is the result of a spirit of amity, and of that mutual defer- 
ence and concession which the peculiarity of our political situation ren- 
dered indispensable. 









189 

That it will meet the full and entire approbation of every State, ig 
not, perhaps, to be expected; but each will doubtless consider that, had 
her interest been alone consulted, the consequences might have been 
particularly disagreeable or injurious to others; that it is liable to as few 
exceptions as could reasonably have been expected, we hope and be- 
lieve ; that it may promote the lasting welfare of that country so dear to 
us all, and secure her freedom and happiness, is our most ardent wish. 

With great respect, we have the honor to be, sir, your excellency's 
most obedient humble servants. 

By unanimous order of the convention. 

GEORGE WASHINGTON, President. 

His excellency the President of Congress. 

17. Whereupon Congress passed the following resolution: 
UNITED STATES IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED. 

Friday, September 28, 1787. 

Present : New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, 
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, South 
Carolina, and Georgia, and from Maryland Mr. Ross. 

Congress having received the report of the convention lately assem- 
bled in Philadelphia — 

Resolved, unanimously, That the said report, with the resolutions and 
letter accompanying the same, be transmitted to the several legislatures, 
in order to be submitted to a convention of delegates chosen in each 
State by the people thereof, in conformity to the resolves of the conven- 
tion made and provided in that case. 

18. The States having accordingly passed acts for severally 
calling conventions, and the Constitution having been submitted 
to them, was ratified by the conventions of the several States, at 
the dates respectively as stated on page 24 of this compilation. 

THE UNITED STATES IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED.

So it was resolved in the affirmative, as follows : 

Whereas the convention assembled in Philadelphia, pursuant to the 
resolution of Congress of the 21st of February, 1787, did, on the 17th 
of September in the same year, report to the United States in Congress 
assembled a Constitution for the people of the United States; where- 
upon Congress, on the 28th of the same September, did resolve, unani- 
mously, "That the said report, with the resolutions and letter accom- 
panying the same, be transmitted to the several legislatures, in order to 
be submitted to a convention of delegates, chosen in each State by the 
people thereof, in conformity to the resolves of the convention made 
and provided in that case :" And whereas the Constitution so reported 
by the convention, and by Congress transmitted to the several legisla- 
tures, has been ratified in the manner therein declared to be sufficient 
for the establishment of the same, and such ratifications, duly authenti- 
cated, have been received by Congress, and are filed in the office of the 
Secretary; therefore — 

Resolved, That the first Wednesday in January next be the day for 
appointing electors in the several States, which, before the said day, 
shall have ratified the said Constitution; that the first Wednesday in 






191 

February next be the day for the electors to assemble in their respective 
States, and vote for a President ; and that the first Wednesday in March 
next be the time, and the present seat of Congress (New York) the 
place, for commencing the proceedings under the said Constitution. 

19. The elections were held in the several states for Electors, in 
conformity with the above resolution, and the Electors so appointed 
met as therein required, and voted for President and Vice Presi- 
dent, (the result of whose votes will be seen in the first table of 
electoral votes contained in this volume,) and the several states 
having, in conformity with the Constitution, elected the Senators 
and Representatives to which they were respectively entitled, pro- 
ceedings commenced under the Constitution on the first Wednes- 
day, being the 4th day of March, 1789, by the meeting of the Sena- 
tors and Representatives in Congress on that day, from the eleven 
states which had then ratified the Constitution ; but a quorum not 
appearing in either House, the House of Representatives adjourned 
from day to day until Wednesday, the 1st of April, when a quo- 
rum, consisting of a majority of the whole number, appearing, they 
elected a speaker and clerk and proceeded to business ; the Senate 
in like manner adjourned from day to day, until Monday, the 6th 
of April, when a quorum, consisting of a majority of the whole 
number of Senators, appearing, " the Senate proceeded, by ballot, 
to the choice of a President, for the sole purpose of opening and 
counting the votes for President of the United States." , The Elec- 
toral votes were accordingly opened and counted on the 6th of 
April, 1789, in the presence of the Senate and House of Represen- 
tatives, and it appeared that George Washington was unanimously 
elected President, and that John Adams was duly elected Vice 
President, of the United States, agreeably to the Constitution. The 
Senate then elected a President pro tempore, the Vice President 
not being present, and also a secretary, and proceeded to business; 
and having taken the proper measures to notify the individuals 
elected, John Adams, Vice President, appeared and assumed the 
chair as President of the Senate on Tuesday the 21st of April. 
George Washington was introduced into the Senate Chamber, by 
the committee appointed for the purpose, on Thursday, April 30, 



192 

1789, and was attended to the gallery in front of the Senate Cham- 
ber by the Vice President and Senators, the Speaker and Repre- 
sentatives and other public characters present. The oath required 
by the Constitution was then administered to him by the Chancel- 
lor of the State of New York, who proclaimed, "Long live George 
Washington, President of the United States," after which the Pre- 
sident returned to the Senate Chamber and delivered his inaugural 
address to the Senate and House of Representatives. 

Thus commenced the proceedings of the Constitutional Govern- 
ment of the United States of America. The Executive and Legis- 
lative branches so installed, possessed from that time, under the 
Constitution, the power to make laws and appoint all the officers 
necessary to constitute the Judiciary Branch, as well as all the Ex 
ecutive Departments and subordinate offices, both civil and military; 
all of which was effected in a convenient and proper time, and the 
whole system, then for the first time put in motion, has continued 
to operate, improve, and mature, until it has acquired a capacity, 
stability, and power adequate to its own security and preservation, 
and to the protection of the rights, the honor, and interest of its 
citizens over the entire surface of the globe, as well as to the pre- 
servation of the lives, the liberty, and happiness of its people at 
home ; illustrating all the attributes of a good government, and 
proving incontestably the value and excellence of our own Consti- 
tution,

CHAPTER 3. 

PROCEEDINGS IN THE COxXGRESS OF THE UNITED COLONIES RE- 
SPECTING " A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, BY THE RE- 
PRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN 
CONGRESS ASSEMBLED." 

IN THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED COLONIES. 

Saturday, June 8, 1776. 

Resolved, That the resolutions respecting independency be referred to 
a committee of the whole Congress. 

The Congress then resolved itself into a committee of the whole ; and, 
after some time, the President resumed the chair, and Mr. Harrison re- 
ported, that the committee have taken into consideration the matter to 
them referred, but not having come to any resolution thereon, directed

sideration the resolutions referred to them. 

Monday, June 10, 1776. 
Agreeable to order, the Congress resolved itself into a committee of 
the whole, to take into their further consideration the resolutions to them

consideration the matters referred to them, and have come to a resolu- 
tion thereon, which they directed him to report.

appointed to prepare a declaration to the effect of the said first resolution, 
which is in these words: " That these United Colonies are, and of right 
ought to be, free and independent States; that they are absolved from 
all allegiance to the British crown: and that all political connexion be- 
tween them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally 
dissolved."

committee of the whole, to take into their farther consideration the 
Declaration ; and after some time the President resumed the chair, and 
Mr. Harrison reported that the committee had agreed to a declaration, 
which they desired him to report. 

The Declaration being read, was agreed to as follows : 

A Declaration by the Representatives of the United States of America, 
in Congress assembled. 
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for 
one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected 



196 

them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, 
the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of 
nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of man- 
kind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them 
to the separation. 

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created 
equal ; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalien- 
able rights ; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of 
happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are insti- 
tuted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of 
the governed ; that, whenever any form of government becomes de- 
structive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to 
abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation 
on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to 
them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness* 
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long establishea, 
should not be changed for light and transient causes ; and, accord 
ingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed 
to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by 
abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a 
long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same 
object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, 
it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and 
to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been 
the patient sufferance of these colonies, and such is now the neces- 
sity which constrains them to alter their former systems of govern- 
ment. The history of the present king of Great Britain is a his- 
tory of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having, in direct 
object, the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. 
To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world : 

He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and 
necessary for the public good. 

He has forbidden his Governors to pass laws of immediate and 
pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his 
assent should be obtained; and, when so suspended, he has utterly 
neglected to attend to them. 



197 

He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of 
large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the 
right of representation in the legislature ; a right inestimable to 
them, and formidable to tyrants only. 

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, un- 
comfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, 
for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his 
measures. 

He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing, 
with manly firmness, his invasions on the rights of the people. 

He has refused, for a long time after such dissolutions, to cause 
others to be elected ; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of 
annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise ; 
the State remaining-, in the mean time, exposed to all the danger 
of invasion from without, and convulsions within. 

He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States ; for 
that purpose, obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners ; 
refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and 
raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands. 

He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his 
assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. 

He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure 
of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. 

He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither 
swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their sub- 
stance. 

He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, with- 
out the consent of our legislature. 

He has affected to render the military independent of, and supe- 
rior to, the civil power. 

He has combined, with others, to subject us to a jurisdiction 
foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; 
giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation : 

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us : 

For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment, for any 






198 

murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these 
States : 

For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world : 

For imposing taxes on us without our consent: 

For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury: 

For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended of- 
fences : 

For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring 
province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarg- 
ing its boundaries, so as to render it at once an example and fit in- 
strument for introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies : 

For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable 
laws, and altering, fundamentally, the powers of our governments : 

For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves 
invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. 

He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his 
protection, and waging war against as. 

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, 
and destroyed the lives of our people. 

He is, at this time, transporting large armies of foreign mer- 
cenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, 
already begun, with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely 
paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the 
head of a civilized nation. 

He has constrained our fellow-citizens, taken captive on the high 
seas, to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners 
of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands. 

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has en- 
deavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless 
Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished 
destruction, of all ages, sexes, and conditions. 

In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for 
redress, in the most humble terms ; our repeated petitions have 
been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character 
is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to 
be the ruler of a free people. 



199 

Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. 
We have warned them, from time to time, of attempts made by 
their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. 
We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration 
and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and 
magnanimity, and we have conjured them, by the ties of our com- 
mon kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably 
interrupt our connections and correspondence. They, too, have 
been deaf to the voice of justice and consanguinity. We must, 
therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separa- 
tion, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in 
war, in peace, friends. 

We, therefore, the representatives of the UNITED STATES 
OF AMERICA, in GENERAL CONGRESS assembled, appeal- 
ing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our in- 
tentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people 
of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United 
Colonies are, and of right ought to be, JFiee ana Srivaqpeutrent 
States; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British 
crown, and that all political connexion between them and the state 
of Great Britain, is, and ought to be, totally dissolved ; and that, as 
FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES, they have full power 
to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, 
and to do all other acts and things which INDEPENDENT 
STATES may of right do. And, for the support of this declara- 
tion, with a firm reliance on the protection of IDWUKNIB $2&<3)* 
VH33EXC33E, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our 
fortunes, and our sacred honor. 

The foregoing declaration was, by order of Congress, engrossed, 
and signed by the following members :

CHAPTER 4. 

PROMINENT POLITICAL ACTS OF 

GEORGE WASHINGTON. 

Appointment of George Washington to be commander-in-chief of 
the army, by the Congress of the Confederation, on the 15th 
June, 1775. 

Thursday, June 15, 1775, 

Agreeable to order, the Congress resolved itself into a Committee of 
the Whole, and, after some time, the President resumed the chair, and 
Mr. Ward reported that the committee had come to some farther resolu- 
tions, which he was ordered to report. 

The report of the committee being read and considered, 

Eesolved, That a general be appointed to command all the Continental 
forces raised, or to be raised, for the defence of American liberty. 

That five hundred dollars per month be allowed for the pay and ex- 
penses of the general. 

The Congress then proceeded to the choice of a general, by ballot, and 
George Washington, esq., was unanimously elected. 

Friday, June 16, 1775. 

Met according to adjournment. [The Delegates from the Colonies of 
New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Connecticut, New York, New 
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware counties, Maryland, Virginia, North 
Carolina, and South Carolina, being present.] 

The President informed Colonel Washington that the Congress had 
yesterday unanimously made choice of him to be general and com- 
mander-in-chief of the American forces, and requested he would accept 
of that employment ; to which Colonel Washington, standing in his 
place, answered: 

" Mr. President : 

11 Though I am truly sensible of the high honor done me, in this ap- 
pointment, yet I feel great distress, from consciousness that my abilities 
and military experience may not be equal to the extensive and important 
trust : However, as the Congress desire it, I will enter upon the mo- 
Q 21 



202 

mentous duty, and exert every power I possess in their service, and for 
support of the glorious cause. I beg they will accept my most cordial 
thanks for this distinguished testimony of their approbation. 

"But, lest some unlucky event should happen, unfavorable to my 
reputation, I beg it may be remembered, by every gentleman in the 
room, that I, this day, declare with the utmost sincerity, I do not think 
myself equal to the command I am honored with. 

" As to pay, sir, I beg leave to assure the Congress, that, as no pe- 
cuniary consideration could have tempted me to accept this arduous 
employment, at the expense of my domestic ease and happiness, I do 
not wish to make any profit from it. I will keep an exact account of my 
expenses. Those, I doubt not, they will discharge, and that is all I 
desire." 

Besolved, That a committee be appointed to draught a commission and 
instructions for the general. 

The persons chosen to compose the committee, were Mr. Lee, Mr. E. 
Rutledge, and Mr. J. Adams. 

Saturday, June 17, 1775. 

Met according to adjournment. 

The committee appointed to draught a commission to the general re- 
ported the same, which, being read by paragraphs and debated, was 
agreed to as follows : 

IN CONGRESS. 
The delegates of the United Colonies of New Hampshire, Massachu- 
setts Bay, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, 
Pennsylvania, the counties of Newcastle, Kent, and Sussex, on Dela- 
ware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina: 

To George Washington, Esq. 

We, reposing special trust and confidence in your patriotism, valor, 
conduct, and fidelity, do, by these presents, constitute and appoint you 
to be general and commander-in-chief of the army of the United Colo- 
nies, and of all the forces now raised, or to be raised by them, and of all 
others who shall voluntarily offer their service, and join the said army for 
the defence of American liberty, and for repelling every hostile invasion 
thereof: And you are hereby vested with full power and authority to 
act as you shall think for the good and welfare of the service. 

And we do hereby strictly charge and require all officers and soldiers, 
under your command, to be obedient to your orders, and diligent in the 
exercise of their several duties. 



203 

And we do also enjoin and require you, to be careful in executing the 
great trust reposed in you, by causing strict discipline and order to be 
observed in the army, and that the soldiers be duly exercised, and pro- 
vided with all convenient necessaries. 

And you are to regulate your conduct in every respect by the rules 
and discipline of war, (as herewith given you,) and punctually to observe 
and follow such orders and directions, from time to time, as you shall 
receive from this, or a future Congress of these United Colonies, or 
committee of Congress. 

This commission to continue in force until revoked by this, or a future 
Congress. 

By order of the Congress, 

Ordered, That the same be fairly transcribed, signed by the President, 
attested by the secretary, and delivered to the general. 

Resolved unanimously, Whereas, the delegates of all the Colonies ; 
from Nova Scotia to Georgia, in Congress assembled, have unanimously 
chosen George Washington, esq., to be general and commander-in-chief 
of such forces as are, or shall be, raised for the maintenance and pre- 
servation of American liberty ; this Congress doth now declare, that they 
will maintain and assist him, and adhere to him, the said George Wash- 
ington, with their lives and fortunes in the same cause. 

Address of the President of Congress to George Washington, 
and his reply, 26th August, 1 783 : 

Monday, August 25, 1783. 
Congress being informed of the arrival of the commander-in-chief in 
the neighborhood of Princeton : 

Ordered, That he have an audience in Congress to-morrow at twelve 
o'clock. 

Tuesday, August 26, 1783. 

According to order, General Washington attended, and being intro- 
duced by two members, the President addressed him as follows : 

Sir : Congress feel particular pleasure in seeing your excellency, and 
in congratulating you on the success of a war, in which you have acted 
so conspicuous a part. 

It has been the singular happiness of the United States, that during a 
war so long, so dangerous, and so important, Providence has been gra- 
ciously pleased to preserve the life of a general, who has merited and 
possessed the uninterrupted confidence and affection of his fellow-citi- 
zens. In other nations many have performed services, for which they 



204 

have deserved and received the thanks of the public. But to you, sir, 
peculiar praise is due. Your services have been essential in acquiring 
and establishing the freedom and independence of your country. They 
deserve the grateful acknowledgments of a free and independent nation. 
Those acknowledgments Congress have the satisfaction of expressing to 
your excellency. 

Hostilities have now ceased, but your country still needs your ser- 
vices. She wishes to avail herself of your talents in forming the arrange- 
ments which will be necessary for her in the time of peace. For this 
reason your attendance at Congress has been requested. A committee 
is appointed to confer with your excellency, and to receive your assist- 
ance in preparing and digesting plans relative to those important ob- 
jects. 

To which his excellency made the following reply : 

Mr. President : I am too sensible of the honorable reception I have 
now experienced, not to be penetrated with the deepest feelings of gra- 
titude. 

Notwithstanding Congress appear to estimate the value of my life 
beyond any services I have been able to render the United States, yet I 
must be permitted to consider the wisdom and unanimity of our national 
councils, the firmness of our citizens, and the patience and bravery of 
our troops, which have produced so happy a termination of the war, as 
the most conspicuous effect of the divine interposition and the surest 
presage of our future happiness. 

Highly gratified by the favorable sentiments which Congress are 
pleased to express of my past conduct, and amply rewarded by the con- 
fidence and affection of my fellow-citizens, I cannot hesitate to contribute 
my best endeavors towards the establishment of the national security in 
whatever manner the sovereign power may think proper to direct, until 
the ratification of the definitive treaty of peace, or the final evacuation 
of our country by the British forces ; after either of which events, I shall 
ask permission to retire to the peaceful shade of private life. 

Perhaps, sir, no occasion may offer more suitable than the present to 
express my humble thanks to God, and my grateful acknowledgments 
to my country, for the great and uniform support I have received in 
every vicissitude of fortune, and for the many distinguished honors 
which Congress have been pleased to confer upon me in the course of 
the war. 



205 

Resignation^ by George Washington, of the office of commander- 
in-chief, to Congress, and answer of the President of Con- 
gress, 23d December, 1783. 

Saturday, December 20, 1783. 

Congress assembled r Present, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode 
Island, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, 
and South Carolina. 

A letter, of this day, from the commander-in-chief, was read, inform- 
ing Congress of his arrival in this city, with the intention of asking 
leave to resign the commission he has the honor of holding in their ser- 
vice, and desiring to know their pleasure in what manner it will be most 
proper to offer his resignation ; whether in writing or at an audience. 
Whereupon, 

Resolved, That his excellency, the commander-in-chief, be admitted 
to a public audience, on Tuesday next, at twelve o'clock. 

Resolved, That a public entertainment be given to the commander-in- 
chief on Monday next. 

Tuesday, December 23, 1783. 

Congress assembled : Present as before. 

According to order, his excellency the commander-in-chief was ad- 
mitted to a public audience, and being seated, the President, after a 
pause, informed him, that the United States in Congress assembled were 
prepared to receive his communications : Whereupon he arose, and ad- 
dressed as follows : 



[To revive the recollection of this scene, and to renew, in the breasts of 
the American people, the emotions of gratitude, affection, and veneration, 
that swelled the hearts of Statesmen, Legislators, Warriors, and other 
citizens, on that ever-memorable occasion, much care has been taken to 
bring here to view the living Washington as he then appeared in the 
Congress Hall. Fortunately, the affectionate providence of his native 
state secured, in the best manner, the means of transmitting the sem- 
blance of those venerated features and form to posterity. The marble 
statue by Houdon, in the state-house at Richmond, is the most authentic 
likeness of George Washington extant ; from this has been taken all that 
could be obtained from marble, the rest has been derived from the best 
paintings, and both combined by the artist who has produced this copy. 

21* 



206 

The sword is taken from the original, now in the Patent Office at Wash- 
ington. Washington is here represented in the manner that he desired 
to be, as will be seen by the following memoranda and correspondence : 

By the Legislature of Virginia, on Tuesday, the 22d June, 1734, it was 

Resolved, That the executive be requested to take measures for procuring a 
statue of General Washington, to be of the finest marble and the best workman- 
ship, with the following inscription on its pedestal : 

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA 

HAVE CAUSED THIS STATUE TO BE ERECTED 

AS A MONUMENT OF AFFECTION AND GRATITUDE TO 

GEORGE WASHINGTON; 

WHO, 

UNITING TO THE ENDOWMENTS OF THE HERO THE VIRTUES OF THE PATRIOT, 

AND EXERTING BOTH IN ESTABLISHING THE LIBERTIES OF HIS COUNTRY, 

HAS RENDERED HIS NAME DEAR TO HIS FELLOW CITIZENS, 

AND GIVEN THE WORLD AN IMMORTAL EXAMPLE 

OF TRUE GLORY. 

[Tradition says that this brief but noble tribute was penned by James Madison 
on his knee, in the midst of the legislature of Virginia, of which he was then a 
member.] 

Accordingly Governor Harrison applied to Mr. Jefferson and Dr. Franklin, then 
in Paris, to engage a statuary. Mr. Houdon was engaged, and came to America, 
in 17S5, in the same vessel with Dr. Franklin. He took from Mr. Jefferson a let- 
ter to Washington, from which the following is an extract: 



FROM JEFFERSON TO WASHINGTON. 

« Paris, 10 July, 1785 
"Mr. Houdon would much sooner have had the honor of attending you, but for 
a spell of sickness, which long induced us to despair of his recovery, and from 
which he is but recently recovered. He comes now, for the purpose of lending 
the aid of his art to transmit you to posterity. He is without rivalship in it, being 
employed from all parts of Europe in whatever is capital. He has had a diffi- 
culty to withdraw himself from an order of the Empress of Russia ; a difficulty, 
however, that arose from a desire to show her respect, but which never gave him 
a moment's hesitation about his present voyage, which he considers as promising 
the brightest chapter of his history. I have spoken of him as an artist only ; but 
I can assure you also, that, as a man, he is disinterested, generous, candid, and 
panting for glory: in every circumstance meriting your good opinion. He will 
have need to see you much while he shall have the honor of being with you; 
which you can the more freely admit, as his eminence and merit give him admis- 
sion into genteel societies here." 

FROM WASHINGTON TO HOUDON 

u Mount Vernon, 26 September, 17S5. 
u Sir, — By a letter, which I have lately had the honor to receive from Dr. Frank- 
lin, at Philadelphia, I am informed of your arrival at that place. Many letters 



207 

from very respectable characters in France, as well as the Doctor's, inform me 
of the occasion; for which, though the cause is not of my seeking, I feel the most 
agreeable and grateful sensations. I wish the object of your mission had been 
more worthy of the masterly genius of the first statuary in Europe; for thus you 
are represented to me. 

M II will give me pleasure, sir, to welcome you to this seat of my retirement; 
and whatever 1 have, or can procure, that is necessary to your purposes, or con- 
venient and agreeable to your wishes, you must freely command, as inclination 
to oblige you will be among the last things in which I shall be found deficient, 
either on your arrival or during your stay. 

k - With sentiments of esteem, I am, sir," &c. 

The artist reached Mount Vernon on the 3d of October, where he spent a fort- 
night, devoted to the purpose of his visit. 

FROM JEFFERSON TO WASHINGTON. 

" Paris, 4 January, 1786. 
"I have been honored with your letter of September the 26th, which was de- 
livered me by Mr. Houdon. who is safely returned. He has brought with him the 
mould of the face only, having left the other parts of his work with his workine,: 
to come by some other conveyance. Dr. Franklin, who was joined with me in 
the superintendence of this just monument, having left us before what is calle 
the costume of the statue was decided on, I cannot so well satisfy myself, and I 
am persuaded I should not so well satisfy the world, as by consulting your own 
wish or inclination as to this article. Permit me, therefore, to ask you whether 
there is any particular dress, or any particular attitude, which you would rather 
wish to be adopted. I shall take a singular pleasure in having your own idea 
executed, if you will be so good as to make it known to me." 

FROM WASHINGTON TO JEFFERSON. 

"Mount Vernon, 1 August, 1786. 
"In answer to your obliging inquiries respecting the dress and attitude, which 
1 would wish to have given to the statue in question, I have only to observe, that, 
not having sufficient knowledge in the art of sculpture to oppose my judgment to 
the taste of connoisseurs, I do not desire to dictate in the matter. On the con- 
trary, I shall be perfectly satisfied with whatever may be judged decent and 
proper. I should even scarcely have ventured to suggest, that perhaps a servile 
adherence to the garb of antiquity might not be altogether so expedient, as some 
little deviation in favor of the modern costume, if I had not learnt from Colonel 
Humphreys, that this was a circumstance hinted in conversation by Mr. West to 
Mr. Houdon. The taste, which has been introduced in painting by West, I under- 
stand is received with applause, and prevails extensively." 

FROM JEFFERSON TO WASHINGTON. 

(t Paris, 14 August. 17S7. 
"I was happy to find, by the letter of August 1st, 1766, which you did me the 
honor to write to me, that the modern dress for your statue icould meet your approba- 
tion. I found it strongly the sentiment of West, Copley. Trumbull, and Brown, in 
London; after which it would be ridiculous to add, that it was my own." 

This work, therefore, purports to be an exact portrait statue of Washington, — 
an authentic historical monument, — the costume being that in which he icas accus- 
tomed to appear as Commander-in-chief No other statue was ever made from his 
person. r l his was modelled about two years after the close of his military career, 
in the fifty-fourth year of his age, a circumstance to be borne in mind in'eompar- 
ing it with later portraits. How well, in point of resemblance, it satisfied his 
contemporaries and associates, may be judged from the strong declaration of 
Judge Marshall to the person (Jared Sparks) to whom the world is indebted for 
the erection of Washington's literary monument, — that, to a spectator standing on 
the right hand of the statue, and taking a half-front view, w - it represented the 
original as perfectly as a living man could be represented in marble."] 



208 

Mr. President : The great events on which my re- 
signation depended having at length taken place, I have 
now the honor of offering my sincere congratulations to 
Congress, and of presenting myself before them, to sur- 
render into their hands the trust committed to me, and to 
claim the indulgence of retiring from the service of my 
country. 

Happy in the confirmation of our independence and 
sovereignty, and pleased with the opportunity afforded 
the United States of becoming a respectable nation, I 
resign with satisfaction the appointment I accepted with 
diffidence ; a diffidence in my abilities to accomplish so 
arduous a task ; which however was superseded by a con- 
fidence in the rectitude of our cause, the support of the 
supreme power of the Union, and the patronage of Heaven. 

The successful termination of the war has verified the 
most sanguine expectations ; and my gratitude for the 
interposition of Providence, and the assistance I have re- 
ceived from my countrymen, increases with every review 
of the momentous contest. 

While I repeat my obligations to the army in general, 
I should do injustice to my own feelings not to acknow- 
ledge, in this place, the peculiar services and distinguished 
merits of the gentlemen w T ho have been attached to my 
person during the war. It was impossible the choice 
of confidential officers to compose my family should have 
been more fortunate. Permit me, sir, to recommend, in 
particular, those who have continued in the service to the 
present moment, as worthy of the favorable notice and 
patronage of Congress. 

I consider it an indispensable duty to close this last 
act of my official life by commending the interests of our 
dearest country to the protection of Almighty God, and 



209 

those who have the superintendence of them to his holy 
keeping. 

Having now finished the work assigned me, I retire 
from the great theatre of action, and bidding an affec- 
tionate farewell to this august body, under whose orders 
I have so long acted, I here offer my commission, and 
take my leave of all the employments of public life. 

He then advanced and delivered to the President his commission, with 
a copy of his address, and having resumed his place, the President 
(Thomas Mifflin) returned him the following answer : 

Sir : The United States in Congress assembled receive, with emo- 
tions too affecting for utterance, the solemn resignation of the authorities 
under which you have led their troops with success through a perilous 
and doubtful war. Called upon by your country to defend its invaded 
rights, you accepted the sacred charge, before it had formed alliances, 
and whilst it was without funds or a government to support you. You 
have conducted the great military contest with wisdom and fortitude, 
invariably regarding the rights of the civil power through ail disasters 
and changes. You have, by the love and confidence of your fellow- 
citizens, enabled them to display their martial genius, and transmit their 
fame to posterity. You have persevered till these United States, aided 
by a magnanimous king and nation, have been enabled, under a just 
Providence, to close the war in freedom, safety, and independence ; on 
which happy event we sincerely join you in congratulations. 

Having defended the standard of liberty in this new world ; having 
taught a lesson useful to those who inflict and to those who feel oppres- 
sion, you retire from the great theatre of action, with the blessings of 
your fellow-citizens ; but the glory of your virtues will not terminate 
with your military command ; it will continue to animate remotest ages. 

We feel with you our obligations to the army in general, and will 
particularly charge ourselves with the interests of those confidential 
officers, who have attended your person to this affecting moment. 

We join you in commending the interests of our dearest country to 
the protection of Almighty God, beseeching him to dispose the hearts 
and minds of its citizens to improve the opportunity afforded them of 
becoming a happy and respectable nation. And for you we address to 
him our earnest prayers, that a life so beloved may be fostered with all 
his care ; that your days may be happy as they have been illustrious ; 
and that he will finally give you that reward which this world cannot ^ivo

ELECTION OF GEORGE WASHINGTON AS PRESIDENT 
OF THE UNITED STATES, AND HIS INAUGURAL AD- 
DRESS. 

Monday, April 6, 1789. 

The President of the Senate, elected for the purpose of counting" 
the votes, declared to the Senate, that the Senate and House of 
Representatives had met, and that he, in their presence, had opened 
and counted the votes of the Electors for President and Vice Pre- 
sident of the United States; whereby it appears that 

George Washington was unanimously elected President. 

Whereupon the following certificate and letter, prepared by a 
committee, consisting of Messrs. Paterson, Johnson, Lee, and 
Ellsworth, were adopted by the Senate, and signed by their Pre- 
sident. 

Be it k7iow?i, That the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America, being convened in the city and State of New 
York, the sixth day of April, in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven 
hundred and eighty-nine, the underwritten, appointed President of the 
Senate, for the sole purpose of receiving, opening, and counting the 
votes of the Electors, did, in the presence of the said Senate and House 
of Representatives, open all the certificates, and count all the votes of 
the Electors for a President and for a Vice President ; by which it ap- 
pears that George Washington, esq., was unanimously elected, 
agreeably to the Constitution, to the office of President of the United 
States of America. 

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal. 

JOHN LANGDON. 

New York, April 6, 1789. 

Sir : I have the honor to transmit to your Excellency the information 
of your unanimous election to the office of President of the United States 
of America. Suffer me, sir, to indulge the hope, that so auspicious a 
mark of public confidence will meet your approbation, and be considered 
as a sure pledge of the affection and support you are to expect from a 
free and enlightened people. 

I am, sir, with sentiments of respect, your obedient humble servant, 

JOHN LANGDON. 

To his Ex'cy George Washington, esq. 



211 



Thursday, April 30, 1789. 

The oath of office having been administered by the Chancellor 
of the State of New York, in the presence of the Senate and 
House of Representatives, to George Washington, President of the 
United States, he then made the following Inaugural address : 

Fellow- Citizens of the Senate, and 

of the House of Representatives .• 

Among the vicissitudes incident to life, no event could have filled 
me with greater anxieties than that of which the notification was 
transmitted by your order, and received on the 14th day of the pre- 
sent month. On the one hand, I was summoned by my country, 
whose voice I can never hear but with veneration and love, from a 
retreat which I had chosen with the fondest predilection, and, in 
my flattering hopes, with an immutable decision, as the asylum of 
my declining years ; a retreat which was rendered every day more 
necessary, as well as more dear to me, by the addition of habit to 
inclination, and of frequent interruptions in my health, to the gra- 
dual waste committed on it by time. On the other hand, the mag- 
nitude and difficulty of the trust to which the voice of my country 
called me, being sufficient to awaken in the wisest and most expe- 
rienced of her citizens a distrustful scrutiny into his qualifications, 
could not but overwhelm with despondence one, who, inheriting 
inferior endowments from nature, and unpractised in the duties of 
civil administration, ought to be peculiarly conscious of his own 
deficiencies. In this conflict of emotions, all I dare aver, is, that 
it has been my faithful study to collect my duty from a just appre- 
ciation of every circumstance by which it might be affected. All 
I dare hope, is, that if, in executing this task, I have been too 
much swayed by a grateful remembrance of former instances, or 
by an affectionate sensibility to this transcendent proof of the con- 
fidence of my fellow-citizens, and have thence too little consulted 
my incapacity as well as disinclination for the weighty and untried 
cares before me, my error will be palliated by the motives which 
misled me, and its consequences be judged by my country, with 
some share of the partiality in which they originated. 



212 

Such being the impressions under which I have, in obedience to 
the public summons, repaired to the present station, it would be 
peculiarly improper to omit, in this first official act, my fervent sup- 
plications to that Almighty Being who rules over the universe — 
who presides in the councils of nations — and whose providential 
aids can supply every human defect, that his benediction may con- 
secrate to the liberties and happiness of the people of the United 
States, a government instituted by themselves for these essential 
purposes : and may enable every instrument employed in its admin- 
istration to execute with success the functions allotted to his charge. 
In tendering this homage to the Great Author of every public and 
private good, I assure myself that it expresses your sentiments not 
less than my own ; nor those of my fellow-citizens at large, less 
than either. No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore 
the invisible hand which conducts the affairs of men, more than 
the people of the United States. Every step by which they have 
advanced to the character of an independent nation, seems to have 
been distinguished by some token of providential agency; and in 
the important revolution just accomplished in the system of their 
united government, the tranquil deliberations, and voluntary con- 
sent of so many distinct communities, from which the event has 
resulted, cannot be compared with the means by which most go- 
vernments have been established, without some return of pious 
gratitude, along with an humble anticipation of the future blessings 
which the past seem to presage. These reflections, arising out of 
the present crisis, have forced themselves too strongly on my mind 
to be suppressed. You will join with me, I trust, in thinking that 
there are none, under the influence of which the proceedings of a 
new and free government can more auspiciously commence. 

By the article establishing the executive department, it is made 
the duty of the President "to recommend to your consideration 
such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient." The 
circumstances under which I now meet you will acquit me from 
entering into that subject, farther than to refer to the great consti- 
tutional charter under which you are assembled; and which, in de- 
fining your powers, designates the objects to w T hich your attention 
is to be given. It will be more consistent with those circumstances, 



213 

and far more congenial with the feelings which actuate me, to sub- 
stitute, in place of a recommendation of particular measures, the 
tribute that is due to the talents, the rectitude, and the patriotism, 
which adorn the characters selected to devise and adopt them. In 
these honourable qualifications I behold the surest pledges that, as 
on one side, no local prejudices or attachments, no separate views, 
nor party animosities, will misdirect the comprehensive and equal 
eye which ought to watch over this great assemblage of communi- 
ties and interests ; so, on another, that the foundations of our na- 
tional policy will be laid in the pure and immutable principles of 
private morality ; and the pre-eminence of free government be ex- 
emplified by all the attributes which can win the affections of its 
citizens, and command the respect of the world. I dsvell on this 
prospect with every satisfaction which an ardent love for my coun- 
try can inspire : since there is no truth more thoroughly established, 
than that there exists in the economy and course of nature an indis- 
soluble union between virtue and happiness — between duty and 
advantage — between the genuine maxims of an honest and magna- 
nimous policy, and the solid rewards of public prosperity and feli- 
city ; since we ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious 
smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards 
the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has or- 
dained ; and since the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and 
the destiny of the republican model of government, are justly con- 
sidered as -deeply, perhaps as finally, staked, on the experiment en- 
trusted to the hands of the American people. 

Besides the ordinary objects submitted to your care, it will re- 
main with your judgment to decide, how far an exercise of the 
occasional power delegated by the fifth article of the Constitution 
is rendered expedient at the present juncture, by the nature of ob- 
jections which have been urged against the system, or by the 
degree of inquietude which has given birth to them. Instead of 
undertaking particular recommendations on this subject, in which 
I could be guided by no lights derived from official opportunities, 
I shall again give way to my entire confidence in your discernment 
and pursuit of the public good; for, I assure myself, that whilst 
you carefully avoid every alteration which might endanger the 



214 

Denefits of an united and effective government, or which ought to 
await the future lessons of experience, a reverence for the charac- 
teristic rights of freemen, and a regard for the public harmony, 
will snffici :.r deliberations on -don, how 

far the former can be more impregnably fortified, or the latter be 
v and advantageously promoted. 

To the preceding observations I have one to add, which will be 
most properly addressed to the House of Representatives. It con- 
cerns myself, and will, therefore, be as brief as possible. When I 
was first honored with a call into the service of my country, then 
on the eve of an arduous struggle for its liberties, the light in which 
I contemplated my duty, required that I should renounce every 
pecuniary compensation. From this resolution I have in no in- 
stance departed; and being still under the impressions which pro- 
duced it, I must decline, as inapplicable to myself, any share In the 
personal emoluments which may be indisj included in a 

permanent provision for the executive department; and must ac- 
cordingly pray that the pecuniary estimates for the station in which 
I am placed, may, during my continuance in it. be limited to such 
actual expenditures as the public good may be th require. 

Having thus imparted to you my sentimei been 

awakened by the occasion which brings us together, I 

v once more to the bei 
Parent of the human race, in humble supplication. :e he 

has been pleased to favor the American pe h opportunities 

for deliberating in perfect tranquillity, and dispositions for decid- 
witb unparalleled unanimity, on a form of government for the 
security of their Union, and the advancement of their happi. 
so his Divine blessing may be equally conspicuous is rged 

views, the temperate consul and the v sures, on 

which the success of this government must depend. 

G. WASHINGTON.

FAREWELL ADDRESS OF GEORGE WASHINGTON, PRE- 
SIDENT, TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES, 
SEPTEMBER 17, 1796. 

Friends and Fellow-citizens : 

The period for a new election of a citizen to administer the Ex- 
ecutive Government of the United States being not far distant, and 
the time actually arrived when your thoughts must be employed in 
designating the person who is to be clothed with that important 
trust, it appears to me proper, especially as it may conduce to a 
more distinct expression of the public voice, that I should now ap- 
prize you of the resolution I have formed, to decline being con- 
sidered among the number of those out of whom a choice is to be 
made. 

I beg you, at the same time, to do me the justice to be assured 
that this resolution has not been taken without a strict regard to all 
the considerations appertaining to the relation which binds a dutiful 
citizen to his country ; and that, in withdrawing the tender of ser- 
vice, which silence, in my situation, might imply, I am influenced 
by no diminution of zeal for your future interest ; no deficiency of 
grateful respect for your past kindness ; but am supported by a full 
conviction that the step is compatible with both. 

The acceptance of, and continuance hitherto in, the office to 
which your suffrages have twice called me, have been a uniform 
sacrifice of inclination to the opinion of duty, and to a deference 
for what appeared to be your desire. I constantly hoped that it 
would have been much earlier in my power, consistently with mo- 
tives which I was not at liberty to disregard, to return to that re- 
tirement from which I had been reluctantly drawn. The strength 
of my inclination to do this, previous to the last election, had even 
led to the preparation of an address to declare it to you ; but mature 
reflection on the then perplexed and critical posture of our affairs 
with foreign nations, and the unanimous advice of persons entitled 
to my confidence, impelled me to abandon the idea. 

I rejoice that the state of your concerns, external as well as in- 



216 

ternal, no longer renders the pursuit of inclination incompatible 
with the sentiment of duty or propriety ; and am persuaded, what- 
ever partiality may be retained for my services, that, in the present 
circumstances of our country, you will not disapprove my determi- 
nation to retire. 

The impressions with which I first undertook the arduous trust 
were explained on the proper occasion. In the discharge of this 
trust, I will only say, that I have with good intentions contributed 
towards the organization and administration of the Government 
the best exertions of which a very fallible judgment was capable. 
Not unconscious in the outset of the inferiority of my qualifica- 
tions, experience, in my own eyes — perhaps still more in the eyes 
of others— has strengthened the motives to diffidence of myself; 
and every day the increasing weight of years admonishes me, 
more and more, that the shade of retirement is as necessary to me 
as it will be welcome. Satisfied that if any circumstances have 
given peculiar value to my services, they were temporary, I have 
the consolation to believe that, while choice and prudence invite 
me to quit the political scene, patriotism does not forbid it. 

In looking forward to the moment which is intended to terminate 
the career of my public life, my feelings do not permit me to sus- 
pend the deep acknowledgment of that debt of gratitude which I 
owe to my beloved country for the many honors it has conferred 
upon me ; still more for the steadfast confidence with which it has 
supported me; and for the opportunities I have thence enjoyed of 
manifesting my inviolable attachment, by services faithful and per- 
severing, though in usefulness unequal to my zeal. If benefits 
have resulted to our country from these services, let it always be 
remembered to your praise, and as an instructive example in our 
annals, that, under circumstances in which the passions, agitated 
in every direction, were liable to mislead; amidst appearances 
sometimes dubious, vicissitudes of fortune often discouraging ; in 
situations in which, not unfrequently, want of success has counte- 
nanced the spirit of criticism,— -the constancy of your support was 
the essential prop of the efforts, and a guarantee of the plans, by 
which they were effected. Profoundly penetrated with this idea, 



217 

I shall carry it with me to my grave, as a strong incitement to un- 
ceasing vows, that Heaven may continue to you the choicest to- 
kens of its beneficence; that your union and brotherly affection 
maybe perpetual; that the free Constitution, which is the work 
of your hands, may be sacredly maintained; that its administra- 
tion, in every department, may be stamped with wisdom and vir- 
tue ; that, in fine, the happiness of the people of these States, un- 
der the auspices of liberty, may be made complete, by so careful a 
preservation and so prudent a use of this blessing as will acquire 
to them the glory of recommending it to the applause, the affec- 
tion, and the adoption of every nation which is yet a stranger 
to it. 

Here, perhaps, I ought to stop ; but a solicitude for your wel- 
fare, which cannot end but with my life, and the apprehension of 
danger natural to that solicitude, urge me, on an occasion like the 
present, to offer to your solemn contemplation, and to recommend 
to your frequent review, some sentiments, which are the result of 
much reflection, of no inconsiderable observation, and which ap- 
pear to me all-important to the permanency of your felicity as a 
people. These will be afforded to you with the more freedom, as 
you can only see in them the disinterested warnings of a parting 
friend, who can possibly have no personal motive to bias his 
counsel ; nor can I forget, as an encouragement to it, your indul- 
gent reception of my sentiments on a former and not dissimilar 
occasion. 

Interwoven as is the love of liberty with every ligament of your 
hearts, no recommendation of mine is necessary to fortify or con- 
firm the attachment. 

The unity of government, which constitutes you one people, is 
also now dear to you. It is justly so ; for it is a main pillar in 
the edifice of your real independence — the support of your tran- 
quillity at home, your peace abroad, of your safety, of your pros- 
perity, of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it 
is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different 
quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed, to 
weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth ; as this is the 
R " 22* 



218 

point in your political fortress against which the batteries of in- 
ternal and external enemies will be most constantly and actively 
(though often covertly and insidiously) directed, — it is of infinite 
moment that you should properly estimate the immense value of 
your national union to your collective and individual happiness ; 
that you should cherish a cordial, habitual, and immovable attach- 
ment to it; accustoming- yourselves to think and speak of it as of 
the palladium of your political safety and prosperity ; watching 
for its preservation with jealous anxiety ; discountenancing what- 
ever may suggest even a suspicion that it can, in any event, be 
abandoned ; and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of 
every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, 
or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various 
parts. 

For this you have every inducement of sympathy and interest. 
Citizens by birth or choice, of a common country, that country has 
a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, 
which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always .exalt 
the just pride of patriotism, more than any appellation derived from 
local discriminations. With slight shades of difference, you have 
the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles. You 
have, in a common cause, fought and triumphed together; the in- 
dependence and liberty you possess are the work of joint counsels 
and joint efforts, of common dangers, sufferings, and successes. 

But these considerations, however powerfully they address them- 
selves to your sensibility, are greatly outweighed by those which 
apply more immediately to your interest ; here every portion of our 
country finds the most commanding motives for carefully guarding 
and preserving the union of the whole. 

The North, in an unrestrained intercourse with the South, pro- 
tected by the equal laws of a common government, finds, in the 
productions of the latter, great additional resources of maritime and 
commercial enterprise, and precious materials of manufacturing 
industry. The South, in the same intercourse, benefiting by the 
agency of the North, sees its agriculture grow, and its commerce 
expand. Turning partly into its own channels the seamen of the 



219 

North, it finds its particular navigation invigorated ; and while it 
contributes, in different ways, to nourish and increase the general 
mass of the national navigation, it looks forward to the protection 
of a maritime strength to which itself is unequally adapted. The 
East, in like intercourse with the West, already finds, and in the 
progressive improvement of interior communication, by land and 
water, will more and more find, a valuable vent for the commodi- 
ties which it brings from abroad, or manufactures at home. The 
West derives from the East supplies requisite to its growth and 
comfort ; and what is perhaps of still greater consequence, it must, 
of necessity, owe the secure enjoyment of indispensable outlets for 
its own productions, to the weight, influence, and the future mari- 
time strength of the Atlantic side of the Union, directed by an indis- 
soluble community of interest as one nation. Any other tenure by 
which the West can hold this essential advantage, whether derived 
from its own separate strength, or from an apostate and unnatural 
connexion with any foreign power, must be intrinsically precarious. 

While, then, every part of our country thus feels an immediate 
and particular interest in union, all the parts combined cannot fail 
to find, in the united mass of means and efforts, greater strength, 
greater resource, proportionably greater security from external dan- 
ger, a less frequent interruption of their peace by foreign nations ; 
and what is of inestimable value, they must derive from union an 
exemption from those broils and wars between themselves, which 
so frequently afflict neighboring countries, not tied together by the 
same government; which their own rivalships alone would be suf- 
ficient to produce, but which opposite foreign alliances, attach- 
ments, and intrigues, would stimulate and imbitter. Hence, like- 
wise, they will avoid the necessity of those over-grown military 
establishments, which, under any form of government, are inaus- 
picious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hos- 
tile to republican liberty ; in this sense it is that your union ought 
to be considered as a main prop of your liberty, and that the love 
of the one ought to endear to you the preservation of the other. 

These considerations speak a persuasive language to every reflect- 
ing and virtuous mind, and exhibit the continuance of the Union 
as a primary object of patriotic desire. Is there a doubt, whether 



220 

a common government can embrace so large a sphere 1 Let expe- 
rience solve it. To listen to mere speculation, in such a case, 
were criminal. We are authorized to hope, that a proper organiza- 
tion of the whole, with the auxiliary agency of governments for 
the respective subdivisions, will afford a happy issue to the expe- 
riment. It is well worth a fair and full experiment. With such 
powerful and obvious motives to Union, affecting all parts of our 
country, while experience shall not have demonstrated its imprac- 
ticability, there will always be reason to distrust the patriotism of 
those, who, in any quarter, may endeavor to weaken its bands. 

In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it 
occurs, as a matter of serious concern, that any ground should have 
been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discrimi- 
nations — Northern and Southern — Atlantic and Western : whence 
designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real 
difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of 
party to acquire influence within particular districts, is to misre- 
present the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield 
yourselves too much against the jealousies and heart-burnings 
which spring from these misrepresentations ; they tend to render 
alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by frater- 
nal affection. The inhabitants of our western country have lately 
had a useful lesson on this head; they have seen in the negotiation 
by the Executive, and in the unanimous ratification by the Senate, 
of the treaty with Spain, and in the universal satisfaction at that 
event throughout the United States, a decisive proof how unfounded 
were the suspicions propagated among them, of a policy in the 
General Government, and in the Atlantic States, unfriendly to their 
interests in regard to the Mississippi : they have been witnesses to 
the formation of two treaties — that with Great Britain, and that 
with Spain, which secure to them every thing they could desire in 
respect to our foreign relations, towards confirming their prospe- 
rity. Will it not be their wisdom to rely for the preservation of 
these advantages on the Union by which they were procured 1 
Will they not henceforth be deaf to these advisers, if such there 
are, who would sever them from their brethren, and connect them 
with aliens ] 



221 

To the efficacy and permanency of your Union, a Government 
for the whole is indispensable. No alliance, however strict be- 
tween the parts, can be an adequate substitute ; they must inevi- 
tably experience the infractions and interruptions which all alli- 
ances, in all time, have experienced. Sensible of this momentous 
truth, you have improved upon your first essay, by the adoption 
of a Constitution of Government better calculated than your former 
for an intimate Union, and for the efficacious management of your 
common concerns. This Government, the offspring of our own 
choice, uninfluenced and una wed, adopted upon full investigation 
and mature deliberation, completely free in its principles, in the 
distribution of its powers, uniting security with energy, and con- 
taining within itself a provision for its own amendment, has a just 
claim to your confidence and 3^our support. Respect for its au- 
thority, compliance with its laws, acquiescence in its measures, 
are duties enjoined by the fundamental maxims of true liberty. 
The bases of our political systems, is the right of the people to 
make and to alter their constitutions of Government: but the Con- 
stitution which at any time exists, till changed by an explicit and 
authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all. 
The very idea of the power, and the right of the people to establish 
Government, pre-supposes the duty of every individual to obey the 
established Government. 

All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations 
and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real 
design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular delibera- 
tion and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive to this 
fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to or- 
ganize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force, to put 
in the place of the delegated will of the nation, the will of a party, 
often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the commu- 
nity ; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, 
to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted 
and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of con- 
sistent and wholesome plans, digested by common counsels, and 
modified by mutual interests. 



222 

However combinations or associations of the above description 
may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the 
course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which 
cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men, will be enabled to sub- 
vert the power of the people, and to usurp for themselves the reins 
of Government; destroying, afterwards, the very engines which 
had lifted them to unjust dominion. 

Towards the preservation of your Government, and the perma- 
nency of your present happy state, it is requisite, not only that you 
steadily discountenance irregular oppositions to its acknowledged 
authority, but also that you resist with care the spirit of innovation 
upon its principles, however specious the pretexts. One method 
of assault may be to effect, in the forms of the Constitution, altera- 
tions which will impair the energy of the system, and thus to 
undermine what cannot be directly overthrown. In all the changes 
to which you may be invited, remember that time and habit are at 
least as necessary to fix the true character of governments as of 
other human institutions ; that experience is the surest standard by 
which to test the real tendency of the existing constitution of a 
country; that facility in changes, upon the credit of mere hypo- 
thesis and opinion, exposes to perpetual change, from the endless 
variety of hypothesis and opinion ; and remember, especially, that 
for the efficient management of your common interests, in a coun- 
try so extensive as ours, a Government of as much vigor as is 
consistent with the perfect security of liberty, is indispensable. 
Liberty itself will find in such a Government, with powers pro- 
perly distributed and adjusted, its surest guardian. It is, indeed, 
little else than a name, where the Government is too feeble to with- 
stand the enterprises of faction, to confine each member of the society 
within the limits prescribed by the laws, and to maintain all in the 
secure and tranquil enjoyment of the rights of person and property. 

I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, 
with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical 
discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, 
and warn you, in the most solemn manner, against the baneful 
effects of the spirit of party generally. 



223 

This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having 
its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists 
under different shapes, in all Governments, more or less stifled, 
controlled, or repressed ; but in those of the popular form it is seen 
in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy. 

The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened 
by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which, in dif- 
ferent ages and countries, has perpetrated the most horrid enormi- 
ties, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads, at length, to a 
more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries 
which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security 
and repose in the absolute power of an individual ; and, sooner or 
later, the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortu- 
nate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of 
his own elevation on the ruins of public liberty. 

Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind, (which, 
nevertheless, ought not to be entirely out of sight,) the common and 
continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the 
interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it. 

It serves always to distract the public councils, and enfeeble the 
public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded 
jealousies and false alarms ; kindles the animosity of one part 
against another; foments, occasionally, riot and insurrection. It 
opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a 
facilitated access to the Government itself, through the channels 
of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country 
are subjected to the policy and will of another. 

There is an opinion that parties, in free countries, are useful 
checks upon the administration of the Government, and serve to 
keep alive the spirit of liberty. This, within certain limits, is pro- 
bably true ; and in Governments of a monarchical cast, patriotism 
may look with indulgence, if not with favor, upon the spirit of 
party. But in those of the popular character, in Governments 
purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their 
natural tendency, it is certain there w T ill always be enough of that 
spirit for every salutary purpose. And there being constant danger 



224 

of excess, the effort ought to be, by force of public opinion, to 
mitigate and assuage it. A fire not to be quenched, it demands a 
uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead 
of warming, it should consume. 

It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking, in a free 
country, should inspire caution in those intrusted with its adminis- 
tration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional 
spheres, avoiding, in the exercise of the powers of one department, 
to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to 
consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to 
create, whatever the form of Government, a real despotism. A 
just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse it which 
predominates in the human heart, is sufficient to satisfy us of the 
truth of this position. The necessity of reciprocal checks in the 
exercise of political power, by dividing and distributing it into dif- 
ferent depositories, and constituting each the guardian of the public 
weal, against invasions by the others, has been evinced by experi- 
ments, ancient and modern ; some of them in our own country, and 
under our own eyes. To preserve them must be as necessary as to 
institute them. If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution 
or modification of the constitutional powers be, in any particular, 
wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the 
Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpa- 
tion ; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of 
good, it is the customary weapon by which free Governments are 
destroyed. The precedent must always greatly "overbalance, in 
permanent evil, any partial or transient benefit which the use can, 
at any time, yield. 

Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political pros- 
perity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain 
would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor 
to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest 
props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, 
equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. 
A volume could not trace all their connexions with private and 
public felicity. Let it simply be asked, where is the security for 



225 

property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation 
desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts 
of justice 1 And let us with caution indulge the supposition, that 
morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be 
conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar 
structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that na- 
tional morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles. 

It is substantially true, that virtue or morality is a necessary 
spring of popular Government. The rule, indeed, extends with 
more or less force to every species of free Government. Who, that 
is a sincere friend to it, can look with indifference upon attempts 
to shake the foundation of the fabric ? 

Promote, then, as an object of primary importance, institutions 
for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the struc- 
ture of a Government gives force to public opinion, it is essential 
that public opinion should be enlightened. 

As a very important source of strength and security, cherish 
public credit. One method of preserving it is to use it as spar- 
ingly as possible ; avoiding occasions of expense by cultivating 
peace, but remembering also that timely disbursements to prepare 
for danger, frequently prevent much greater disbursements to repel 
it ; avoiding, likewise, the accumulation of debt, not only by shun- 
ning occasions of expense, but by vigorous exertions in time of 
peace to discharge the debts which unavoidable wars may have 
occasioned ; not ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burden 
which we ourselves ought to bear. The execution of these maxims 
belongs to your representatives, but it is necessary that public 
opinion should co-operate. To facilitate to them the performance 
of their duty, it is essential that you should practically bear in 
mind, that towards the payment of debts there must be revenue; 
to have revenue there must be taxes ; that no taxes can be de- 
vised, which are not more or less inconvenient and unpleasant ; 
that the intrinsic embarrassment inseparable from the selection 
of the proper objects, (which is always a choice of difficulties,) 
ought to be a decisive motive for a candid construction of the con- 
duct of fhe Government in making it, and for a spirit of acquies- 

23 



226 

cence in the measures for obtaining revenue, which the public 
exigencies may at any time dictate. 

Observe good faith and justice towards all nations ; cultivate 
peace and harmony with all ; religion and morality enjoin this con- 
duct; and can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it] 
It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and, at no distant period, 
a great nation, to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel 
example of a people always guided by an exalted justice and be- 
nevolence. Who can doubt that, in the course of time and things, 
the fruits of such a plan would richly repay any temporary advan- 
tages which might be lost by a steady adherence to it ] Can it be 
that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a na- 
tion with its virtue ! The experiment, at least, is recommended by 
every sentiment which ennobles human nature. Alas ! is it ren- 
dered impossible by its vices'? 

In the execution of such a plan, nothing is more essential than 
that permanent inveterate antipathies against particular nations, 
and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and 
that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should 
be cultivated. The nation which indulges towards another an 
habitual hatred, or an habitual fondness, is, in some degree, a slave. 
It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection ; either of which is 
sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. Antipathy 
in one nation against another, disposes each more readily to offer 
insult and injury, to lay hold of slight causes of umbrage, and to 
be haughty and intractable, when accidental or trifling occasions 
of dispute occur. Hence frequent collisions, obstinate, envenomed, 
and bloody contests. The nation, prompted by ill will and re- 
sentment, sometimes impels to war the Government, contrary to 
the best calculations of policy. The Government sometimes par- 
ticipates in the national propensity, and adopts, through passion, 
w hat reason would reject; at other times it makes the animosity 
of the nation subservient to projects of hostility, instigated by 
pride, ambition, and other sinister and pernicious motives. The 
peace often, sometimes perhaps the liberty, of nations has been the 
victim. 






227 

So, likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation to another 
produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, fa- 
cilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest, in cases 
where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the 
enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the 
quarrels and wars of the latter, without adequate inducement or 
justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of 
privileges denied to others, which is apt doubly to injure the na- 
tion making the concessions ; by unnecessarily parting with what 
ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill will, and 
a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges 
are withheld ; and it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citi- 
zens (who devote themselves to the favorite nation) facility to be- 
tray, or sacrifice the interest of their own country, without odium ; 
sometimes even with popularity ; gilding with the appearance of a 
virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public 
opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish 
compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation. 

As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such at- 
tachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and 
independent patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to 
tamper with domestic factions, to practise the art of seduction, to 
mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the public councils ! 
Such an attachment of a small or weak, towards a great and pow- 
erful nation, dooms the former to be the satellite of the latter. 

Against the insidious w T iles of foreign influence (I conjure you 
to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought 
to be constantly awake ; since history and experience prove that 
foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican Go- 
vernment. But that jealousy, to be useful, must be impartial ; else 
it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, in- 
stead of a defence against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign 
nation, and excessive dislike for another, cause those whom they 
actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil, and even 
second, the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots, who may 
i the intrigues of the favorite, are liable to become suspected 



228 

and odious ; while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and con- 
fidence of the people, to surrender their interests. 

The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is, 
in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little 
political connexion as possible. So far as we have already formed 
engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here 
let us stop. 

Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or 
a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent 
controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our 
concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate 
ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her poli- 
tics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships 
or enmities. 

Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pur- 
sue a different course. If we remain one people, under an efficient 
Government, the period is not far off when we may defy material 
injury from external annoyance ; when we may take such an atti- 
tude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon, 
to be scrupulously respected ; when belligerent nations, under the 
impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly 
hazard the giving us provocation ; when we may choose peace or 
war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel. 

Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why 
quit our own to stand upon foreign ground ] Why, by interweav- 
ing our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace 
and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, 
humor, or caprice ] 

It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with 
any portion of the foreign world ; so far, I mean, as we are now at 
liberty to do it ; for let me not be understood as capable of patron- 
ising infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less 
applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always 
the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be 
observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unne- 
cessary, and would be unwise to extend them. 



229 

Taking care always to keep ourselves, by suitable establish- 
ments, on a respectable defensive posture, we may safely trust to 
temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies. 

Harmony, and a liberal intercourse with all nations, are recom- 
mended by policy, humanity, and interest. But even our com- 
mercial policy should hold an equal and impartial hand ; neither 
seeking nor granting exclusive favors or preferences; consulting 
the natural course of things ; diffusing and diversifying, by gentle 
means, the streams of commerce, but forcing nothing ; establish- 
ing, with powers so disposed, in order to give trade a stable course, 
to define the rights of our merchants, and to enable the Government 
to support them, conventional rules of intercourse, the best that 
present circumstances and mutual opinions will permit, but tempo- 
rary, and liable to be, from time to time, abandoned or varied, as 
experience and circumstances shall dictate ; constantly keeping 
in view, that it is folly in one nation to look for disinterested favors 
from another; that it must pay, with a portion of its independence, 
for whatever it may accept under that character; that by such ac- 
ceptance it may place itself in the condition of having given equiva- 
lents for nominal favors, and yet of being reproached with ingratitude 
for not giving more. There can be no greater error than to expect, 
or calculate upon, real favors from nation to nation. It is an illu- 
sion which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to dis- 
card. 

In offering to you, my countrymen, these counsels of an old and 
affectionate friend, I dare not hope they will make the strong and 
lasting impression I could wish ; that they will control the usual 
current of the passions, or prevent our nation from running the 
course which has hitherto marked the destiny of nations ; but if I 
may even flatter myself that they may be productive of some partial 
benefit, some occasional good ; that they may now and then recur 
to moderate the fury of party spirit, to warn against the mischiefs 
of foreign intrigues, to guard against the impostures of pretended 
patriotism ; this hope will be a full recompense for the solicitude 
for your welfare by which they have been dictated. 

How far, in the discharge of my official duties, I have been 

23** 



\ 



280 

guided by the principles which have been delineated, the public 
records, and other evidences of my conduct, must witness to you 
and the world. To myself, the assurance of my own conscience 
is, that I have at least believed myself to be guided by them. 

In relation to the still subsisting war in Europe, my proclama 
tion of the 22d of April, 1793, is the index to my plan. Sanctioned 
by your approving voice, and by that of your Representatives in 
both Houses of Congress, the spirit of that measure has continually 
governed me, uninfluenced by any attempts to deter or divert me 
from it. 

After deliberate examination, with the aid of the best lights I 
could obtain, I was well satisfied that our country, under all the 
circumstances of the case, had a right to«ake, and was bound in 
duty and interest to take, a neutral position. Having taken it I 
determined, as far a3 should depend upon me, to maintain it with 
moderation, perseverance, and firmness. 

The considerations which respect the right to hold this conduct, 
it is not necessary on this occasion to detail. I will only observe, 
that, according to my understanding of the matter, that right, so 
far from being denied by any of the belligerent powers, has been 
virtually admitted by all. 

The duty of holding a neutral conduct may be inferred, without 
any thing more, from the obligation which justice and humanity 
impose on every nation, in cases in which it is free to act, to main- 
tain inviolate the relations of peace and amity towards other nations. 

The inducements of interest, for observing that conduct, will 
best be referred to your own reflections and experience. With me, 
a predominant motive has been to endeavor to gain time to our 
country to settle and mature its yet recent institutions, and to pro- 
gress, without interruption, to that degree of strength and con- 
sistency which is necessary to give it, humanly speaking, the 
command of its own fortunes. 

Though in reviewing the incidents of my administration, I am 
unconscious of intentional error ; I am, nevertheless, too sensible 
of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed 
many errors. Whatever they may be, I fervently beseech the Al- 



231 

mighty to avert or mitigate the evils to which they may tend. 1 
shall also carry with me the hope, that my country will never 
cease to view them with indulgence ; and that, after forty-five 
years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the 
faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as my- 
self must soon be to the mansions of rest. 

Relying on its kindness in this, as in other things, and actuated 
by that fervent love towards it which is so natural to a man who 
views in it the native soil of himself and his progenitors for seve- 
ral generations, I anticipate, with pleasing expectation, that retreat 
in which I promise myself to realize, without alloy, the sweet en- 
joyment of partaking, in the midst of my fellow-citizens, the benign 
influence of good laws under a free Government — the ever favorite 
object of my heart — and the happy reward, as I trust, of our mutual 
cares, labors, and dangers. 

GEORGE WASHINGTON. 

United States, 17th September, 1796. 



GEORGE WASHINGTON, 

APPOINTED LIEUTENANT-GENERAL AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF 
OF ALL THE ARMIES RAISED OR TO BE RAISED IN THE UNITED 
STATES, BY AND WITH THE ADVICE AND CONSENT OF THE 

SENATE.— July 3, 1798. 

The calm and peaceful retreat which the great Wash- 
ington promised himself beneath his own vine and fig-tree, 
in taking an affectionate leave of his fellow- citizens in nis 
farewell address, was destined to be of short duration, for, 
difficulties having arisen with the then existing government 
of France, "the opinion was universally entertained, that 
Washington must be called on to take the command of 
the armies." The weight of his name and character was 



232 

of the utmost importance to produce unanimity in the 
leaders, and to secure the confidence and support of the 
people. His extreme aversion to enter again into public 
life was known ; but it was likewise well understood, tha. 
it was a principle with him, from which he had never 
deviated, that when his services w r ere demanded by the 
general voice of his fellow- citizens, he never refused to 
bestow them ; under this impression, therefore, the Pre- 
sident, John Adams, had made up his mind to nominate 
him to the Senate in any event, both because he was the 
best man, and because the nation would not be satisfied 
with any other course, and he therefore declared to him 
in a letter of the 22d June, 1798, that « We must have 
your name, if you will in any case permit us to use it. 
There will be more efficacy in it than in many an army." 
And the Secretary of War. James McHenry, on the 
26th June, 1798, said to him — " You see how the storm 
thickens, and that our vessel will soon require its ancient 
pilot. Will you, — may we flatter ourselves, that, in a 
crisis so awful and important, you w T ill accept the com- 
mand of all our armies ? I hope you will, because you 
alone can unite all hearts and all hands." — To the Presi- 
dent, Washington replied on the 4th July, 1798, that 
" At the epoch of my retirement, an invasion of these 
States by any European power, or even the probability 
of such an event happening in my days, was so far from 
being contemplated by me, that I had no conception that 
that, or any other occurrence would arise in so short a 
period, which could turn my eyes from the shades of 
Mount Vernon. But this seems to be the age of wonders ; 
and it is reserved for intoxicated and lawless France (for 
nurposes of Providence far beyond the reach of human 



•233 

ken) to slaughter its own citizens, and to disturb the re- 
pose of all the world besides." 

" From a view of the past and the present, and from 
the prospect of that which seems to be expected, it is not 
easy for me to decide, satisfactorily, on the part it might 
best become me to act. In case of actual invasion by a 
formidable force, I certainly should not intrench myself 
under the cover of age (67) and retirement, if my ser- 
vices should be required by my country to assist in re- 
pelling it." 

To the Secretary of War, Washington replied also on 
the 4th July, 1798, — " The sentiments, which I mean to 
express to you in this letter on the subject of yours, shall 
be frank, undisguised and explicit ; for I see, as you do, 
that clouds are gathering, and that a storm may ensue ; 
and I find, too, from a variety of hints, that my quiet 
under these circumstances does not promise to be of long 
continuance. 

" It cannot be necessary for me to premise to you, or 
to others, who know my sentiments as well, that, to quit 
the tranquil walks of retirement, and enter a boundless 
field of responsibility and trouble, would be productive 
of sensations, which a better pen than I possess would 
find it difficult to describe. Nevertheless, the principles 
by which my conduct has been actuated through life 
would not surfer me, in any great emergency, to withhold 
any services I could render, required by my country; 
especially in a case where its dearest rights are assailed 
by lawless ambition and intoxicated power, contrary to 
every principle of justice, and in violation of solemn com- 
pacts and laws, which govern all civilized nations ; and 
this, too, with the obvious intent to sow thick the seeds 



234 

of disunion, for the purpose of subjugating the govern- 
ment, and destroying our independence and happiness." 

" In circumstances like these, accompanied by an 
actual invasion of our territorial rights, it would be diffi- 
cult at any time for me to remain an idle spectator under 
the plea of age or retirement. With sorrow, it is true, I 
should quit the shades of my peaceful abode, and the 
ease and happiness I now enjoy, to encounter anew the 
turmoils of war, to which, possibly, my strength and 
powers might be found incompetent. These, however, 
should not be stumbling-blocks in my own way." 

"As my whole life has been dedicated to my country 
in one shape or another, for the poor remains of it, it is 
not an object to contend for ease and quiet, when all that 
is valuable in it is at stake, further than to be satisfied 
that the sacrifice I should make of these is acceptable 
and desired by my country." 

Before the reception of these communications from Washington, the 
following proceedings took place : — 

IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. SEXATE OF THE UXITED 

STATES. 

Monday, July 2, 1795. 
The following written message was received from the President of the 
United States, by Mr. Vlalcom his secretary : — 

Gentlemen of the Senate : — 

I nominate George Washington, of Mount Vernon, to 
be Lieutenant-general and Commander-in-chief of all the 
armies raised, or to be raised, in the United States. 

United States, July 2, 1798. JoHX AdAMS. 

The message was read. 

Ordered, That it lie for consideration. 



235 

Tuesday, July 3, I" 

The Senate took into consideration the message of the President of 
the United States, of the 2d instant, and the nomination contained there- 
in, of Geo: :igton, to office. Whereupon, 

On the question to advise and consent to the appointment, it was de- 
termined in the affirmative : Yeas. 2-i. 

The yeas and nays being required by one-fifth of the Senators present, 
Those who voted in the affirmative, are — Messrs. Anderson, Bingham, 
Brown, Chipman, Clayton, Foster, Goodhue, Greene, Hillhouse. How- 
ard, Langdon, Latimer, Laurance, Livermore, Martin, Mason. Xorth, 
Paine, Read, Rutherford, Sedgwick, Stockton, Tazewell and Tracy, 
was, 

Resolved, unani?nously, That they do advise and con- 
sent to the appointment, agreeably to the nomination. 

The following correspondence then ensued: — 

Extract of a letter from John Adams. President of the United >:a:es, 
to James McHenry, Secretary of War : 

"Philadelphia, July 6, 179S. 

"Dear Sir. — It is my desire, that you embrace the 
first opportunity to set out on your journey to Mount 
Vernon, and wait on General Washington with the com- 
mission of lieutenant-general and commander-in-chief of 
the armies of the United States, which, by the advice 
and consent of the Senate, has been signed by me. 

" The reasons and motives, which prevailed with me 
to venture on such a step as the nomination of this p;reat 
and illustrious character, whose voluntary resignation 
alone occasioned my introduction to the office I now 
hold, were too numerous to be detailed in this letter, and 
are too obvious and important to escape the observation 
of any part of America or Europe. But, as it is a move- 
ment of great delicacy, it will require all ymir address tc 
communicate the subject in a manner that shall be inof- 



236 

fensive to his feelings, and consistent with all the respect 
that is due from me to him. 

"If the General should decline the appointment, all 
the world will be silent and respectfully acquiesce. If 
he should accept it, all the world, except the enemies of 
this country, wall rejoice. If he should come to no deci- 
sive determination, but take the subject into considera- 
tion, I shall not appoint any other lieutenant-general till 
his conclusion is known. 55 

" His advice in the formation of a list of officers w T ould 
be extremely desirable to me. 55 "Particularly I wish to 
have his opinion of the men most suitable for inspector- 
general, adjutant-general, and quartermaster-general. 55 

" His opinion on all subjects would have great weight ; 
and I wish you to obtain from him as much of his reflec- 
tions upon the times and the service as you can. 55 



Philadelphia, July 7, 1798. 

Dear Sir, — Mr. McHenry, the Secretary of War, will 
have the honor to wait on you, in my behalf, to impart 
to you a step I have ventured to take, and which I should 
have been happy to have communicated in person, if 
such a journey had been at this time in my power. As 
I said in a former letter, if it had been in my power to 
nominate you to be President of the United States, I 
should have done it with less hesitation and more plea- 
sure. My reasons for this measure will be too well 
known to need any explanation to the public. Every 
friend and every enemy of America will comprehend 
them at first blush. To you, sir, I owe all the apologies 
I can make. The urgent necessity I am in of your 



237 

advice and assistance, indeed of your conduct and direc- 
tion of the war, is all I can urge, and that is a sufficient 
justification to myself and the world. I hope it will be 
so considered by yourself. Mr. McHenry will have the 
honor to consult you upon the organization of the army, 
and upon every thing relating to it. 

With the highest respect, I have the honor to be, sir, 
your most obedient and most humble servant, 

John Adams. 



Mount Vernon, July 13, 1798. 

Df.ar Sir, — I had the honor, on the evening of the 
11th instant, to receive from the hands of the Secretary 
of War your favor of the 7th, announcing that you had, 
with the advice and consent of the Senate, appointed me 
lieutenant-general and commander-in-chief of all the 
armies raised or to be raised for the service of the United 
States. 

I cannot express how greatly affected I am at this 
new proof of public confidence, and the highly flattering 
manner in which you have been pleased to make the 
communication ; at the same time I must not conceal 
from you my earnest wish, that the choice had fallen on 
a man less declined in years, and better qualified to en- 
counter the usual vicissitudes of war. 

You know, sir, what calculations I had made relative 
to the probable course of events on my retiring from 
office, ana the determination I had consoled myself with, 
of closing the remnant of my days in my present peace- 
ful abode. You will, therefore, be at no loss to conceive 
and appreciate the sensations I must have experienced, 
to bring my mind to any conclusion that would pledge 

24 



238 

me, at so late a period of life, to leave scenes I sincerel) 
love, to enter upon the boundless field of public action, 
incessant trouble, and high responsibility. 

It was not possible for me to remain ignorant of, or 
indifferent to, recent transactions. The conduct of the 
Directory of France towards our country, their insidious 
hostilities to its government, their various practices to 
withdraw the affections of the people from it, the evident 
tendency of their arts and those of their agents to coun- 
tenance and invigorate opposition, their disregard of 
solemn treaties and the laws of nations, their war upon 
our defenceless commerce, their treatment of our minister 
of peace, and their demands, amounting to tribute, could 
not fail to excite in me corresponding sentiments with 
those which my countrymen have so generally expressed 
in their affectionate addresses to you. Believe me, sir, 
no one can more cordially approve of the wise and pru- 
dent measures of your administration. They ought to 
inspire universal confidence, and will, no doubt, combined 
with the state of things, call from Congress such laws 
and means as will enable you to meet the full force and 
extent of the crisis. 

Satisfied, therefore, that you have sincerely wished 
and endeavoured to avert war, and exhausted to the last 
drop the cup of reconciliation, we can with pure hearts 
appeal to Heaven for the justice of our cause, and may 
confidently trust the final result to that kind Providence, 
which has heretofore and so often signally favored the 
people of these United States. 

Thinking in this manner, and feeling how incumbent 
it is upon every person of every description to contribute 
at all times to his country's welfare, and especially in a 



239 

moment like the present, when every thing we hold dear 
is so seriously threatened, I have finally determined to 
accept the commission of commander-in-chief of the 
armies of the United States ; with the reserve only, that 
I shall not be called into the field until the army is in a 
situation to require my presence, or it becomes indis- 
pensable by the urgency of circumstances. 

In making this reservation, I beg to be understood, 
that I do not mean to withhold any assistance to arrange 
and organize the army, which you may think I can 
afford. I take the liberty also to mention, that I must 
decline having my acceptance considered as drawing 
after it any immediate charge upon the public, and that 
I cannot receive any emoluments annexed to the appoint- 
ment, before entering into a situation to incur expense. 

The Secretary of War being anxious to return to the 
seat of government, I have detained him no longer than 
was necessary to a full communication upon the several 
points he had in charge. 

With very great respect and consideration, I have the 
honor to be, &c. 

George Washington.

TO THE MEMORY OF 
GEORGE WASHINGTON, 

BORN FEBRUARY 22, 1732. — DIED AT MOUNT VERNON, DECEMBER 14, 1799. 

The illustrious Washington having filled the measure 
of his country's glory and exalted his own political and 
military fame and private character far above the standard 
of excellence attained by the greatest man of modern or 
ancient times ; and having, on every occasion, performed 
his duty to his country, not only with that fidelity and 
devotion which became a good citizen, but with that 
wisdom, affection, and paternal solicitude which have 
obtained for him, by the unanimous voice of mankind, 
the title of "Father of his Country," was called, on 
the 14th December, 1799, by the Almighty Father of 
Heaven, we hope, to the enjoyment of that rich reward 
which is reserved for those who act well their part on 
earth. 



241 

The universal gloom which pervaded the hearts of his 
countrymen on that solemn occasion, seems so far to 
have commingled with the veneration for his character 
which has been transmitted to posterity, as to inspire in 
the patriot's heart an indescribable awe in approaching 
the mementos of his glory, around w T hich there is a halo 
so brilliant and penetrating as to reach the inmost intel- 
ligence of man, and to purify the moral and intellectual 
being, by the contemplation of every attribute that w r as 
excellent and noble in human nature. It is salutary to 
remember the outpourings of affection and sorrow on the 
departure of those whose virtues and goodness have en- 
deared them to our hearts, it elevates the finer feelings 
of our nature, as the presence of innocence promotes the 
contemplation of that angelical virtue. 

The sons and daughters of America mourned the loss 
their country had sustained in the death of their Wash- 
ington, with a cause of sorrow which no other people, in 
any case, to the same extent could plead ; their govern- 
ment, in unison with the feelings of the people, demon- 
strated that grief in measures of respect and veneration 
worthy of a nation's affection and a nation's gratitude, 
and long — long — may the remembrance of those deep 
and sincere effusions of affection and gratitude continue 
to warm the hearts of the American people. There let 
the memory of Washington be enshrined, and his private 
virtues and patriotic ardor w T ill continue to animate this 
people to the remotest generation. It is proposed to 
conclude this chapter by consecrating the proceedings and 
measures of the Government on that memorable occasion 
TO THE MEMORY OF 
GEORGE WASHINGTON.

companying the same, was read, and referred to the committee last ap- 
pointed, and is as follows : 

Gentlemen of the Senate , and 

Gentlemen of the House of Representatives : 

The letter herewith transmitted will inform you that it 
has pleased Divine Providence to remove from this life 
our excellent fellow-citizen George Washington, by the 
purity of his character, and a long series of services to 
his country, rendered illustrious through the world. It 
remains for an affectionate and grateful people, in whose 
hearts he can never die, to pay suitable honors to his 
memory. 

JOHN ADAMS. 

United Slates, December 19, 1799. 

"Mount Vernon, December 15, 1799. 

" Sir: It is with inexpressible grief that I have to announce to 
you the death of the great and good General Washington. He 
died last evening, between ten and eleven o'clock, after a short ill- 
ness of about twenty hours. His disorder was an inflammatory 
sore throaf, which proceeded from a cold, of which he made bat 
little complaint on Friday. On Saturday morning, about three 
o'clock, he became ill: Doctor Craik attended him in the morning, 
and Doctor Dick, of Alexandria, and Doctor Brown, of Port To- 
bacco, were soon after called in. Every medical assistance was 
offered, but without the desired effect. His last scene corresponded 
with the whole tenor of his life : not a groan nor a complaint 
escaped him in extreme distress. With perfect resignation, and in 
full possession of his reason, he closed his well-spent life. 

"I have the honor to be, w T ith the highest respect, sir, yonr most 
obedient and very humble servant, 

"TOBIAS LEAR. 

" The President of the United States." 

Mr. Marshall, from the committee appointed to wait on the President 
of the United States, to know when and where it will be convenient for 



244 

him to receive this House, in condolence of the national calamity, re- 
ported that the committee had, according to order, performed that ser- 
vice, and that the President signified to them it would be convenient for 
him to receive this House at one o'clock this afternoon, at his own 
house. 

A message from the Senate, by Mr. Otis, their secretary: 

Mr. Speaker : The Senate have agreed to the resolution passed by the 
House of Representatives for the appointment of a joint committee of 
both Houses to report measures suitable to the occasion, and expressive 
of the profound sorrow with which Congress is penetrated on the loss 
of a citizen first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his 
countrymen; and have appointed Mr. Dayton, Mr. Bingham, Mr. Dex- 
ter, Mr. Gunn, Mr. Lawrence, and Mr. Tracey, a committee on their 
part. 

And then he withdrew. 

The Speaker, attended by the House, then withdrew to the house of 
the President of the United States, when Mr. Speaker addressed the 
President as follows : 

Sir : The House of Representatives, penetrated with 
a sense of the irreparable loss sustained by the nation in 
the death of that great and good man, the illustrious and 
beloved Washington, wait on you, sir, to express their 
condolence on this melancholy and distressing event. 

To which the President replied as follows : 

Gentlemen of the House of Representatives : 

I receive, with great respect and affection, the condo- 
lence of the House of Representatives, on the melan- 
choly and affecting event, in the death of the most illus- 
trious and beloved personage which this country ever 
produced. I sympathize with you, with the nation, and 
with good men through the world, in this irreparable loss 
sustained by us all. 

JOHN ADAMS. 

United States, December 19, 1799. 



2ij 

Monday, December 23, 1799. 

Mr. Marshall, from the joint committee appointed to prepare and re- 
port measures suitable to the occasion, and expressive of the profound 
sorrow wi:h which Congress is penetrated on the loss of their highly 
valued fellow-citizen, George Washington, General of the armies of the 
United States, made a report, in part; which he delivered in at the 
clerk's table, where the same was twice read and considered: Where- 
upon, — 

It was resolved, that the House do unanimously agree to the following 
resolutions, to wit : 

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That a marble monument 
be erected by the United States, in the Capitol, at the city of 
Washington ; and that the family of General Washington be re- 
quested to permit his body to be deposited under it; and that the 
monument be so designed as to commemorate the great events of 
his military and political life. 

And he it further resolved, That there be a funeral precession from 
Congress Hall to the German Lutheran Church, in honor of the 
memory of General George Washington, on Thursday, the twenty- 
sixth instant, and that an oration be prepared at the request of Con- 
gress, to be delivered before both Houses, on that day ; and that

States be requested to direct a copy of these resolutions to be trans- 
mitted to Mrs. Washington, assuring her of the profound respect 
Congress will ever bear to her person and character; of their con- 
dolence on the late afflicting dispensation of Providence; and en- 
treating her assent to the interment of the remains of General 
George Washington in the manner expressed in the first reso- 
lution. 

And be it further resolved, That the President of the United

Ordered, That the clerk of this House do cany the said resolutions to

A message from the Senate, by Mr.Otis, their secretary: 
Mr. Speaker : The Senate have agreed to the resolutions passed by the 
House of Representatives, directing certain measures to be taken suitable 
to the occasion, and expressive of the profound sorrow with which Con- 
gress is penetrated on the loss of their highly valued fellow-citizen, 
George Washington, General of the armies of the United States. 

Tuesday, December 24, 1799. 

Mr. Gray, from the joint committee for enrolled bills, reported that 
the committee had examined the enrolled resolutions directing certain 
measures to be taken in honor of the memory of General George Wash- 
ington, and had found the same to be truly enrolled : Whereupon, — 

Mr. Speaker signed the said enrolled resolutions. 

Ordered, That the clerk of this House do acquaint the Senate there- 
with. 

Mr. Wadsworth, from the joint committee for enrolled bills, reported 
that the committee did, this day, present to the President of the United 
States, for his approbation, the enrolled resolutions directing certain 
measures to be taken in honor of the memory of General George Wash- 
ington. 

A message was received from the President of the United States, by 
Mr. Shaw, his secretary, notifying that the President did, this day, ap- 
prove and sign the enrolled resolutions, which originated in this House,

armies of the United States ; and that Mr. Lee had been pleased to ac- 
cept of the appointment. 

On motion, the House adjourned until Thursday morning, half-past ten

247 

Thursday, December 26, 1799. 

This being the day appointed by the resolution of Congress for the 
funeral procession in honor of the memory of George Washington, late 
General of the armies of the United States, the House proceeded to the 
German Lutheran Church, where they attended the funeral oration pre- 
pared and delivered on the occasion by Major General Lee, one of the 
members of this House for the State of Virginia : 



PUNERAL ORATION. 

In obedience to your will, I rise your humble organ, 
with the hope of executing a part of the system of public 
mourning which you have been pleased to adopt, com- 
memorative of the death of the most illustrious and most 
beloved personage this country has ever produced ; and 
which, while it transmits to posterity your sense of the 
awful event, faintly represents your knowledge of the 
consummate excellence you so cordially honor* 

Desperate indeed is any attempt on earth to meet cor- 
respondingly this dispensation of Heaven ; for, while with 
pious resignation we submit to the will of an all-gracious 
Providence, we can never cease lamenting, in our finite 
view of Omnipotent Wisdom, the heart-rending privation 
for which our nation weeps. When the civilized world 
shakes to its centre ; when every moment gives birth to 
strange and momentous changes ; when our peaceful 
quarter of the globe, exempt as it happily has been from 
any share in the slaughter of the human race, may yet be 
compelled to abandon her pacific policy, and to risk the 
doleful casualties of war: What limit is there to the 
extent of our loss ? — None within the reach of my words 
to express; none which your feelings will not disavow. 



248 

The founder of our federate republic— our bulwark in 
war, our guide in peace, is no more! Oh that this were 
but questionable ! Hope, the comforter of the wretched, 
would pour into our agonizing hearts its balmy dew. 
But, alas ! there is no hope for us ; our Washington is 
removed for ever ! Possessing the stoutest frame, and 
purest mind, he had passed nearly to his sixty-eighth 
year, in the enjoyment of high health, when, habituated 
by his care of us to neglect himself, a slight cold, dis- 
regarded, became inconvenient on Friday, oppressive on 
Saturday, and, defying every medical interposition, before 
the morning of Sunday, put an end to the best of men. 
An end did I say ? — his fame survives ! — bounded only 
by the limits of the earth, and by the extent of the human 
mind. He survives in our hearts, in the growing know- 
ledge of our children, in the affections of the good 
throughout the world; and Avhen our monuments shall 
be done away ; when nations now existing shall be no 
more ; when even our young and far-spreading empire 
shall have perished, still will our Washington's glory un« 
faded shine, and die not, until love of virtue cease on 
earth, or earth itself sinks into chaos. 

How, my fellow-citizens, shall I single to your grateful 
hearts his pre-eminent w T orth! Where shall I begin in 
opening to your view a character throughout sublime ? 
Shall I speak of his warlike achievements, all springing 
from obedience to his country's will — all directed to his 
country's good ? 

Will you go with me to the banks of the Monongahela, 
to see your youthful Washington, supporting, in the dismal 
hour of Indian victory, the ill-fated Braddock, and saving, 
by his judgment and by his valor, the remains of a de- 



249 

feated army, pressed by the conquering savage foe ? Or, 
when oppressed America, nobly resolving to risk her all 
in defence of her violated rights, he was elevated by the 
unanimous voice of Congress to the command of her 
armies : — Will you follow him to the high grounds of 
Boston, where to an undisciplined, courageous, and vir- 
tuous yeomanry, his presence gave the stability of system, 
and infused the invincibility of love of country ; or shall 
I carry you to the painful scenes of Long Island, York 
Island and New Jersey, when, combating superior and 
gallant armies, aided by powerful fleets, and led by chiefs 
high in the roll of fame, he stood, the bulwark of our safety ; 
undismayed by disaster ; unchanged by change of for- 
tune. Or will you view him in the precarious fields of 
Trenton, where deep gloom unnerving every arm, reigned 
triumphant through our thinned, worn down, unaided 
ranks ; himself unmoved. Dreadful was the night. It 
was about this time of winter — the storm raged — the 
Delaware rolling furiously with floating ice, forbade the 
approach of man. Washington, self-collected, viewed 
the tremendous scene — his country called ; unappalled 
by surrounding dangers, he passed to the hostile shore ; 
he fought ; he conquered. The morning sun cheered the 
American world. Our country rose on the event; and 
her dauntless chief, pursuing his blow, completed in the 
lawns of Princeton, what his vast soul had conceived on 
the shores of Delaware. 

Thence to the strong grounds of Morristown he led his 
small but gallant band ; and through an eventful winter, 
by the high efforts of his genius, whose matchless force 
was measurable only by the growth of difficulties, he 
held in check formidable hostile legions, conducted by a 
T 25 



250 

chief experienced in the art of war, and famed for his 
valor on the ever memorable heights of Abraham, where 
fell Wolfe, Montcalm, and since, our much lamented 
Montgomery — all covered with glory. In this fortunate 
interval, produced by his masterly conduct, our fathers, 
ourselves, animated by his resistless example, rallied 
around our country's standard, and continued to follow 
her beloved chief through the various and trying scenes 
to which the destinies of our Union led. 

Who is there that has forgotten the vales of Brandy- 
wine — the fields of Germantown — or the plains of Mon- 
mouth? Everywhere present, w T ants of every kind 
obstructing, numerous and valiant armies encountering, 
himself a host, he assuaged our sufferings, limited our 
privations, and upheld our tottering republic. Shall I 
display to you the spread of the fire of his soul, by 
rehearsing the praises of the Hero of Saratoga, and his 
much loved compeer of the Carolinas ? No ; our Wash- 
ington wears no borrowed glory : to Gates — to Greene, 
he gave without reserve the applause due to their emi- 
nent merit ; and long may the chiefs of Saratoga, and 
of Eutaws, receive the grateful respect of a grateful 
people. 

Moving in his own orbit, he imparted heat and light to 
his most distant satellites ; and combining the physical 
and moral force of all within his sphere, with irresistible 
weight he took his course, commiserating folly, disdaining 
vice, dismaying treason, and invigorating despondency; 
until the auspicious hour arrived, when, united with the 
intrepid forces of a potent and magnanimous ally, he 
brought to submission the since conqueror of India ; thus 
finishing his long career of military glory with a lustre 



. 



251 

corresponding to his great name, and in this his last act 
of war affixing the seal of fate to our nation's birth. 

To the horrid din of battle sweet peace succeeded ; 
and our virtuous chief, mindful only of the common good, 
in a moment tempting personal aggrandizement, hushed 
the discontents of growing sedition ; and, surrendering his 
power into the hands from which he had received it, con- 
verted his sword into a ploughshare, teaching an admiring 
world that to be truly great, you must be truly good. 

Was I to stop here, the picture w r ould be incomplete, 
and the task imposed unfinished. Great as was our 
Washington in war, and as much as did that greatness 
contribute to produce the American Republic, it is not in 
war alone his pre-eminence stands conspicuous. His 
various talents combining all the capacities of a states- 
man with those of a soldier, fitted him alike to guide the 
councils and the armies of our nation. Scarcely had he 
rested from his martial toils, while his invaluable parental 
advice was still sounding in our ears, when he who had 
been our shield and our sword, was called forth to act a 
less splendid but more important part. 

Possessing a clear and penetrating mind, a strong and 
sound judgment, calmness and temper for deliberation, 
with invincible firmness, and perseverance in resolutions 
maturely formed, drawing information from all, acting 
from himself, with incorruptible integrity and unvarying 
patriotism : his own superiority and the public confidence 
alike marked him as the man designed by Heaven to lead 
in the great political as well as military events w T hich 
have distinguished the era of his life. 

The finger of an overruling providence, pointing at 
Washington, was neither mistaken nor unobserved ; 



252 

when, to realize the vast hopes to which our revolution 
had given birth, a change of political system became 
indispensable. 

How novel, how grand the spectacle ! Independent 
states stretched over an immense territory, and known 
only by common difficulty, clinging to their union as the 
rock of their safety, deciding by frank comparison of 
their relative condition, to rear on that rock, under the 
guidance of reason, a common government, through 
whose commanding protection, liberty and order, with 
their long train of blessings, should be safe to them- 
selves, and the sure inheritance of their posterity. 

This arduous task devolved on citizens selected by the 
people, from knowledge of their wisdom and confidence 
in their virtue. In this august assembly of sages and 
patriots, Washington of course w T as found ; and, as if 
acknowledged to be most wise, where all were wise, with 
one voice he w T as declared their chief. How well he 
merited this rare distinction, how faithful were the labours 
of himself and his compatriots, the work of their hands 
and our union, strength and prosperity, the fruits of that 
work, best attest. 

But to have essentially aided in presenting to his 
country this consummation of her hopes, neither satisfied 
the claims of his fellow-citizens on his talents, nor those 
duties which the possession of those talents imposed. 
Heaven had not infused into his mind such an uncommon 
share of its ethereal spirit to remain unemployed, nor 
bestowed on him his genius unaccompanied with the cor- 
responding duty of devoting it to the common good. To 
have framed a Constitution, was showing only, without 
ealizing, the general happiness. This great work re- 






253 

mained to be done ; and America, steadfast in her prefer- 
ence, with one voice summoned her beloved Washington, 
unpractised as he was in the duties of civil administra- 
tion, to execute this last act in the completion of the 
national felicity. Obedient to her call, he assumed the 
high office with that self-distrust peculiar to his innate 
modesty, the constant attendant of pre-eminent virtue. 
What was the burst of joy through our anxious land on 
this exhilarating event is known to us all. The aged, 
the young, the brave, the fair, rivaled each other in 
demonstrations of their gratitude ; and this high- wrought, 
delightful scene was heightened in its effect, by the sin- 
gular contest between the zeal of the bestowers and the 
avoidance of the receiver of the honors bestowed. Com- 
mencing his administration, what heart is not charmed 
with the recollection of the pure and wise principles an- 
nounced by himself, as the basis of his political life. He 
best understood the indissoluble union between virtue and 
happiness, between duty and advantage, between the 
genuine maxims of an honest and magnanimous policy, 
and the solid rewards of public prosperity and individual 
felicity ; watching with an equal and comprehensive eyt* 
over this great assemblage of communities and interests, 
he laid the foundations of" our national policy in the un- 
erring, immutable principles of morality, based on reli- 
gion, exemplifying the pre-eminence of a free govern- 
ment ; by all the attributes which win the affections of 
its citzens, or command the respect of the world. 

11 O fortunatos nimium, sua si bona norint !" 

Leading through the complicated difficulties produced 
by previous obligations and conflicting interests, seconded 

25* 



254 

by succeeding houses of Congress, enlightened and pa- 
triotic, he surmounted all original obstruction, and bright- 
ened the path of our national felicity. 

The presidential term expiring, his solicitude to ex- 
change exaltation for humility returned with a force 
increased with increase of age ; and he had prepared his 
farew T ell address to his countrymen, proclaiming his inten- 
tion, when the united interposition of all around him, 
enforced by the eventful prospects of the epoch, produced 
a further sacrifice of inclination to duty. The election 
of President followed, and Washington, by the unani- 
mous vote of the nation, was called to resume the Chief 
Magistracy. What a wonderful fixture of confidence ! 
Which attracts most our admiration, a people so correct, 
or a citizen combining an assemblage of talents forbid- 
ding rivalry, and stifling even envy itself? Such a nation 
ought to be happy, such a chief must be for ever revered. 

War, long menaced by the Indian tribes, now broke 
out; and the terrible conflict, deluging Europe with 
blood, began to shed its baneful influence over our 
happy land. To the first, outstretching his invincible 
arm, under the orders of the gallant Wayne, the Ameri- 
can eagle soared triumphant through distant forests. 
Peace followed victory ; and the melioration of the con- 
dition of the enemy followed peace. Godlike virtue, 
which uplifts even the subdued savage. 

To the second he opposed himself. New and delicate 
was the conjuncture, and great was the stake. Soon did 
his penetrating mind discern and seize the only course, 
continuing to us all the felicity enjoyed. He issued his 
proclamation of neutrality. This index to his whole 
subsequent conduct was sanctioned by the approbation 



255 

of both houses of Congress, and by the approving voice 
of the people. 

To this sublime policy he inviolably adhered, unmoved 
by foreign intrusion, unshaken by domestic turbulence. 

"Justum et tenacem propositi virum, 
Non civium ardor prava jubentium, 
Non vultus instantis tyranni, 
Mente quatit folida." 

Maintaining his pacific system at the expense of no 
duty, America, faithful to herself, and sustained in her 
honor, continued to enjoy the delights of peace, while 
afflicted Europe mourns in every quarter under the accu- 
mulated miseries of an unexampled war; miseries in 
which our happy country must have shared, had not our 
pre-eminent Washington been as firm in council as he 
was brave in the field. 

Pursuing steadfastly his course, he held safe the public 
happiness, preventing foreign war, and quelling internal 
discord, till the revolving period of a third election 
approached, when he executed his interrupted but inex- 
tinguishable desire of returning to the humble walks of 
private life. 

The promulgation of his fixed resolution stopped the 
anxious wishes of an affectionate people, from adding a 
third unanimous testimonial of their unabated confidence 
in the man so long enthroned in their hearts. When be 
fore was affection like this exhibited on earth ? Turn 
over the records of ancient Greece ! Review the annals 
of mighty Pvome ! Examine the volumes of modern 
Europe ; you search in vain. America and her Wash- 
ington only afford the dignified exemplification. The 



256 

illustrious personage called by the national voice in suc- 
cession to the arduous office of guiding a free people, 
had new difficulties to encounter. The amicable effort 
of settling our difficulties with France, begun by Wash- 
ington, and pursued by his successor in virtue as in sta- 
tion, proving abortive, America took measures of self- 
defence. No sooner was the public mind roused by a 
prospect of danger, than every eye was turned to the 
friend of all, though secluded from public view, and gray 
in public service. The virtuous veteran following his 
plough, received the unexpected summons with mingled 
emotions of indignation at the unmerited ill-treatment of 
his country, and of a determination once more to risk 
his all in her defence. 

The annunciation of these feelings, in his affecting 
letter to the President, accepting the command of the 
army, concludes his official conduct. 

First in w r ar, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his 
countrymen, he was second to none in the humble and 
endearing scenes of private life: pious, just, humane, 
temperate, and sincere, uniform, dignified, and com- 
manding, his example was as edifying to all around him 
as were the effects of that example lasting. 

To his equals he w r as condescending ; to his inferiors 
kind ; and to the dear object of his affections exemplarily 
tender. Correct throughout, vice shuddered in his pre- 
sence, and virtue always felt his fostering hand ; the 
purity of his private character gave effulgence to his 
public virtues. 

His last scene comported with the whole tenor of his 
life ; although in extreme pain, not a sigh, not a groan 
escaped him ; and with undisturbed serenity he closed 



257 

his well-spent life. Such was the man America has lost, 
such was the man for whom our nation mourns ! Methinks 
I see his august image, and hear, falling from his vener- 
able lips, these deep-sinking words : 

"Cease, sons of America, lamenting our separation: 
go on, and confirm by your wisdom the fruits of our joint 
councils, joint efforts, and common dangers. Reverence 
religion ; diffuse knowledge throughout your land ; patron- 
ize the arts and sciences ; let liberty and order be in- 
separable companions ; control party-spirit, the bane of 
free government ; observe good faith to, and cultivate 
peace with all nations; shut up every avenue to foreign 
influence ; contract rather than extend national con- 
nexion; rely on yourselves only; be American in thought 
and deed. Thus will you give immortality to that union, 
which was the constant object of my terrestrial labours. 
Thus will you preserve undisturbed to the latest posterity 
the felicity of a people to me most dear ; and thus will 
you supply (if my happiness is now aught to you) the 
only vacancy in the round of pure bliss high Heaven 
bestows." 



Friday, December 27, 1799. 

On a motion made and seconded that the House do come to the follow- 
ing resolution, to wit : 

The House of Representatives of the United States, highly 
gratified with the manner in which Mr. Lee has performed the ser- 
vice assigned to him, under the resolution desiring the President of 
the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives to request 
one of the members of Congress to prepare and deliver a funeral 
oration on the death of George Washington ; and desirous of com- 
municating to their fellow-citizens, through the medium of the 



258 

press, those sentiments of respect for the character, of gratitude 
for the services, and of grief for the death, of that illustrious per- 
sonage, which, felt by all, have, on this melancholy occasion, been 
so well expressed : 

Resolved, That the Speaker present the thanks of this House to 
Mr. Lee, for the oration delivered by him to both Houses of Con- 
gress on Thursday, the twenty-sixth instant ; and request that he 
will permit a copy thereof to be taken for publication : 

The question was taken that the House do agree to the same, 
And unanimously resolved in the affirmative. 

Monday, December 30, 1799. 

The Speaker informed the House that, in pursuance of the resolution 
of Friday last, he had addressed to Major General Henry Lee, one of 
the members for the State of Virginia, the following letter : 

"Philadelphia, December 27, 1799. 

" Dear Sir : The enclosed resolutions, which unanimously passed 
the House of Representatives this day, will make known to you 
how highly they have been gratified with the manner in which you 
have performed the service assigned to you, in preparing and de- 
livering a funeral oration on the death of General Washington. 
That our constituents may participate in the gratification we have 
received from your having so well expressed those sentiments of 
respect for the character, of gratitude for the services, and of grief 
for the death, of that illustrious personage, I flatter myself you will 
not hesitate to comply with the request of the House, by furnishing 
a copy of your oration, to be taken for publication. 

"Allow me, while performing this pleasing task of official duty 
in communicating an act of the representatives of the people, so 
just to you and so honorable to themselves, to embrace the oppor- 
tunity to declare that 

" I am, personally, with great esteem and sincere regard, deal 
sir, your friend and obedient servant, 

"THEODORE SEDGWICK. 

"The honorable Maj. Gen. Lee." 

To which Mr. Lee had replied as follows : 



259 

"Franklin Court, December 28, 1799. 

11 Dear Sir : I owe to the goodness of the House of Representa- 
tives the honor which their resolutions confer on my humble efforts 
to execute their wish. 

84 1 can never disobey their will, and therefore will furnish a 
copy* of the oration delivered on the late afflicting occasion, much 
as I had flattered myself with a different disposition of it. 

" Sincerely reciprocating the personal consideration with which 
you honor me, I am, very respectfully, sir, your friend and obedient 
servant, 

"HENRY LEE. 

" The Speaker of the House of Representatives." 

Mr. Marshall, from the joint committee appointed to prepare and report 
measures in honor of the memory of General George Washington, made 
a further report, in part ; which was read and considered : Whereupon, 

It was unanimously resolved that the House do agree to the following 
resolutions : 

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That it be recommended 
to the people of the United States to assemble, on the twenty- 
second day of February next, in such numbers and manner as may 
be convenient, publicly to testify their grief for the death of Gene- 
ral George Washington, by suitable eulogies, orations, and dis- 
courses, or by public prayers. f 

And it is further resolved, That the President be requested to 
issue a proclamation, for the purpose of carrying the foregoing reso- 
lution into effect. 

Ordered, That the clerk of this House do carry the said resolutions to 
the Senate, and desire their concurrence. 



*Vide the Oration, page 217. 

t In conformity with this recommendation, the people of every city, town, vil- 
lage, and hamlet, whose numbers were swelled by the neighboring country-people, 
assembled, and with deep devotion rendered their heartfelt tribute of affection for 
the memory of the Father of their Country. This outpouring of gratitude and 
affection of a nation of free citizens has never been equalled more nearly than by 
the spontaneous and universal demonstration of this national virtue on the oc- 
casion of the visit of General Lafayette to the United States, in 1524. 



260 

[These resolutions were agreed to by the Senate on the 31st December, 
1799, and approved by the President of the United States on the 6th 
January, 1800.] 

Monday, January 6, 1800. 

A message was received from the President of the United States, by 
Mr. Adams, notifying that the President did, this day, approve and sign 
certain enrolled resolutions, which originated in this House, directing 
further measures in honor of the memory of General George Washington. 

Ordered, That the clerk of this House do acquaint the Senate there- 
with. 

Wednesday, January 8, 1800. 

A message, in writing, was received from the President of the United 
States, by Mr. Shaw, his secretary, as followeth : 

Gentlemen of the Senate, and 

Gentlemen of the House of Representatives: 

In compliance with the request in one of the resolutions of Con- 
gress of the twenty-first of December last, I transmitted a copy of 
those resolutions, by my secretary, Mr. Shaw, to Mrs. Washing- 
ton, assuring her of the profound respect Congress will ever bear 
to her person and character; of their condolence in the late afflict- 
ing dispensation of Providence ; and entreating her assent to the 
interment of the remains of General George Washington, in the 
manner expressed in the first resolution. As the sentiments of 
that virtuous lady, not less beloved by this nation than she is at 
present greatly afflicted, can never be so well expressed as in her 
own words, I transmit to Congress her original letter. 

It w T ould be an attempt of too much delicacy to make any com- 
ments upon it ; but there can be no doubt that the nation at large, 
as well as all the branches of the Government, will be highly 
gratified by any arrangement which may diminish the sacrifice she 
makes of her individual feelings. 

JOHN ADAMS. 

United States, January 6, 1800. 

The letter referred to in the said message is as follows : 



, 



261 

"Mount Vernon, December 31, 1799. 

" Sir : While I feel, with keenest anguish, the late dis- 
pensation of Divine Providence, I cannot be insensible to 
the mournful tributes of respect and veneration which are 
paid io the memory of my dear deceased husband ; and, 
as his best services and most anxious wishes were always 
devoted to the welfare and happiness of his country, to 
know that they were truly appreciated and gratefully re- 
membered affords no inconsiderable consolation. 

" Taught, by that great example which I have so long 
had before me, never to oppose my private wishes to the 
public will, I must consent to the request made by Con- 
gress, which you have had the goodness to transmit to 
me ; and, in doing this, I need not, I cannot, say what a 
sacrifice of individual feeling I make to a sense of public 
duty. 

" With grateful acknowledgments and unfeigned thanks 
for the personal respect and evidences of condolence ex- 
pressed by Congress and yourself, I remain, very respect- 
fully, sir, your most obedient humble servant, 

"MARTHA WASHINGTON." 

The said message, and letter accompanying the same, were read, and 
ordered to be referred to the joint committee appointed the nineteenth 
ultimo, on receipt of the intelligence of the death of General George 
Washington, to prepare and report measures suitable to the occasion. 

Friday, March 28, 1800. 
On motion, 

Resolved, That all letters and packets to Mrs. Martha Washington, 
relict of the late General George Washington, shall be received and con- 
veyed by post, free from postage, for and during her life. 

Ordered, That a bill or bills be brought in pursuant to the said resolu- 
tion ; and that Mr. Henry Lee, Mr. Kittera and Mr. Dennis, do prepare 
and bring in the same. 

26 



262 

Mr. Henry Lee, from the committee appointed, presented, according 
to order, a bill to extend the privilege of franking letters and packages

On motion, the said bill was read the second time, and ordered to be 
engrossed, and read the third time on Monday next. 

Monday, March 31, 1800. 
An engrossed bill to extend the privilege of franking letters and pack- 
ages to Martha Washington, was read the third time.

tives of the United States of America in Congress as* 
sembled, That all letters and packages to and from Martha

[This act was passed by the Senate on the 1st of April, and approved 
by the President of the United States, on the 3d April, 1800.] 



IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES. 

Thursday, December 19, 1799. 

The following written message was received from the President of the 
United States, by Mr. Shaw, his secretary : 

Gentlemen of the Senate, and 

Gentlemen of the House of Representatives : 

The letter herewith transmitted* will inform you that it 
has pleased Divine Providence to remove from this life 

* See letter from Tobias Lear on page 243. 



263 

our excellent fellow-citizen George Washington ; by the 
purity of his character, and a long series of services to 
his country rendered illustrious through the world. It 
remains for an affectionate and grateful people, in whose 
hearts he can never die, to pay suitable honors to his 
memory. JOHN ADAMS. 

United States, December 19, 1799. 

The message and letter were read. 
Ordered, That they lie for consideration. 

A message from the House of Representatives, by Mr. Oswald, in the 
absence of their clerk : 

Mr. Preside?it: The House of Representatives having received intelli- 
gence of the death of their highly-valued fellow-citizen, General George 
Washington, and sharing the universal grief this distressing event must 
produce, have Resolved, That a joint committee be appointed, to report 
measures suitable to the occasion, and expressive of the profound sorrow 
with which Congress is penetrated on the loss of a citizen, first in war, 
first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen ; and having ap- 
pointed a committee on their part, desire the concurrence of the Senate. 
And he withdrew. 

The Senate proceeded to consider the foregoing resolution of the House 
of Representatives. Whereupon, 

Resolved, That they do concur therein, and that Messrs. Dayton, Bing- 
ham, Dexter, Gunn, Laurance, Tracy, and Read, be the committee on 
the part of the Senate. 

Ordered, That the Secretary acquaint the House of Representatives 
with the concurrence. 
On motion, 

Resolved, That the Senate will wait on the President of the United 
States, to condole with him on the distressing event of the death of Gene- 
ral George Washington ; and that a committee be appointed to prepare, 
for that occasion, an address to the President of the United States, ex- 
►f the deep regret of the Senate ; and that this committee con- 
Dexter, Ross, and Read. 
On motion, 

Resolved, That the chairs in the Senate chamber be covered, and the 
room hung with black, and that each member, and the officers of the 



264 

Senate, go into mourning, by the usual mode of wearing a crape round 
the left arm, during the session. 
The Senate adjourned to 11 o'clock on Monday morning. 

Monday, December 23, 1799. 
Mr. Dexter, from the committee, appointed for the purpose on the 18th 
inst., reported the draught of an address to the President of the United 
States, on the death of General George Washington ; which being read 
in paragraphs, was adopted, as follows : 

To the President of the United States : 

The Senate of the United States respectfully take leave, 
sir, to express to you their deep regret for the loss their 
country sustains in the death of General George Wash- 
ington. 

This event, so distressing to all our fellow-citizens, 
must be peculiarly heavy to you, who have long been as- 
sociated with him in deeds of patriotism. Permit us, sir, 
to mingle our tears with yours ; on this occasion it is 
manly to weep. To lose such a man, at such a crisis, is 
no common calamity to the world : our country mourns 
her Father. The Almighty Disposer of human events has 
taken from us our greatest benefactor and ornament. It 
becomes us to submit with reverence to him who << maketh 
darkness his pavilion." 

With patriotic pride we review the life of our Wash- 
ington, and compare him with those of other countries, 
who have been pre-eminent in fame. Ancient and modern 
names are diminished before him. Greatness and guilt 
h&ve too often been allied ; but his fame is whiter than it 
is brilliant. The destroyers of nations stood abashed at 
the majesty of his virtue. It reproved the intemperance 
of their ambition, and darkened the splendor of victory. 
The scene is closed, and we are no longer anxious lest 



265 

misfortune should sully his glory ; he has travelled to the 
end of his journey, and carried with him an increasing 
weight of honor; he has deposited it safely, where mis- 
fortune cannot tarnish it, where malice cannot blast it. 
Favored of Heaven, he departed without exhibiting the 
weakness of humanity. Magnanimous in death, the dark- 
ness of the grave could not obscure his brightness. 

Such was the man whom we deplore. Thanks to God! 
his glory is consummated ; Washington yet lives — on earth 
in his spotless example — his spirit is in heaven. 

Let his countrymen consecrate the memory of the he- 
roic general, the patriotic statesman, and the virtuous 
sage ; let them teach their children never to forget that the 
fruit of his labors and his example are their inheritance. 

SAMUEL LIVERMORE, 
President of the Senate, pro tempore. 

Ordered, That the committee who prepared the address, wait on the 
President of the United States, and desire him to acquaint the Senate at 
what time and place it will be most convenient for him that it should be 
presented. 

Mr. Dexter reported, from the committee, that they had waited on the 
President of the United States, and that he had acquainted them that he 
would receive the address of the Senate immediately, at his own house. 

Whereupon, the Senate waited on the President of the United States, 
and the President of the Senate, in their name, presented the address 
this day agreed to. 

To which the President of the United States was pleased to make the 
following reply : — 

Gentlemen of the Senate . 

I receive, with the most respectful and affectionate 
sentiments, in this impressive address, the obliging ex- 
pressions of your regard for the loss our country has sus* 

V 26* 



266 

tained in the death of her most esteemed, beloved, and 
admired citizen. 

In the multitude of my thoughts and recollections on 
this melancholy event, you will permit me only to say, 
that I have seen him in the days of adversity, in some of 
the scenes of his deepest distress and most trying per- 
plexities : I have also attended him in his highest eleva- 
tion, and most prosperous felicity, with uniform admiration 
of his wisdom, moderation, and constancy. 

Among all our original associates in that memorable 
league of the continent in 1774, which first expressed the 
sovereign will of a free nation in America, he was the 
only one remaining in the general government. 

Although, with a constitution more enfeebled than his, 
at an age when he thought it necessary to prepare for re- 
tirement, I feel myself alone, bereaved of my last brother; 
yet I derive a strong consolation from the unanimous dis- 
position which appears, in all ages and classes, to mingle 
their sorrows with mine, on this common calamity to the 
world. 

The life of our Washington cannot suffer by a com- 
parison with those of other countries who have been most 
celebrated and exalted by fame. The attributes and 
decorations of royalty could have only served to eclipse 
the majesty of those virtues which made him, from being 
a modest citizen, a more resplendent luminary. Misfor- 
tune, had he lived, .could hereafter have sullied his glory 
only with those superficial minds, who, believing that cha- 
racters and actions are marked by success alone, rarely de- 
serve to enjoy it. Malice could never blast his honor, and 
envy made him a singular exception to her universal rule. 
For himself, he had lived enough to life, and to glory. 



267 

For his fellow-citizens, if their prayers could have been 
answered, he would have been immortal. For me, his 
departure is at a most unfortunate moment. Trusting, 
however, in the wise and righteous dominion of Provi- 
dence over the passions of men, and the results of their 
councils and actions, as well as over their lives, nothing 
remains for me but humble resignation. 

His example is now complete, and it will teach wisdom 
and virtue to magistrates, citizens, and men, not only in 
the present age, but in future generations, as long as our 
history shall be read. If a Trajan found a Pliny, a Mar- 
cus Aurelius can never w T ant biographers, eulogists, or 
historians. JOHN ADAMS. 

United States, December 23, 1799. 

The Senate returned to their own chamber. 

A message from the House of Representatives, by Mr. Condy, their 
Clerk : 

Mr. President: The joint committee appointed on the part of the 
House of Representatives, on the 19th instant, on the receipt of the in- 
telligence of the death of General George Washington, having made 
report to that House, they have agreed to sundry resolutions thereupon, 
in which they desire the concurrence of the Senate. And he withdrew. 

Mr. Dayton, from the joint committee, appointed the 19th instant, on 
the part of the Senate, on the receipt of the intelligence of the death of 
General George Washington, reported in past, and the report was agreed 
to. Whereupon, 

Resolved, unanimously, That the Senate do concur in the aforesaid 
resolutions. 

Thursday, December 26, 1799. 

In conformity to the resolve of the 23d instant, the Senate went in 
procession to the German Lutheran Church, where was delivered an 
oration* in honor of the memory of General George Washington. After 
which, they returned to their own chamber ; and 

Adjourned to 11 o'clock to-morrow morning. 

* See oration of Henry Lee, p. 247. 



268 

Friday, December 27, 1799. 

On motion, 

Resolved, That the thanks of the Senate be communicated, through 
their President, to General Henry Lee, for the eloquent and impressive 
oration to the memory of General George Washington, Which he pre- 
pared and delivered at the request of Congress. 

Resolved, That the Secretary be directed to apply to General Lee for 
a copy of the same.

CHAPTER 5. 

INAUGURAL ADDRESSES OF THE PATRIOTS AND SAGES 
OF THE REVOLUTION, WHO WERE ELEVATED BY THE 
SUFFRAGES OF THEIR FELLOW-CITIZENS TO THE 
OFFICE OF PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. 

1. In seeking, among the great mass of literary matter that has 
emanated from the able and intelligent minds and honest hearts of 
the statesmen of the Revolution, for compositions or productions 
which imbody more completely than any others, and within the 
smallest compass, the true principles, objects, and designs, duties 
and responsibilities, of the American Government under the Con- 
stitution, none can be found comparable to the inaugural addresses 
of those wise and true patriots who brought with them to the pre- 
sidential office, not only the experience they had acquired in those 
times when the energies and resources of the stoutest hearts and 
ablest minds were constantly in requisition, but the advantages of 
the higbest intelligence, resulting from that investigation of causes, 
and deliberation upon effects, constituting the prominent character- 
istics of truly great minds. These worthy spirits had witnessed 
and felt the oppression of the colonial system of bondage; the 
want of a general government for the United Colonies in the com- 
mencement and progress of the Revolution; the total inefficiency 
of the old form of government under the Confederation; and some 
had taken part in, while all had been eye-witnesses of, the efficient 
and paternal administration of government under the Constitution 
by the great and good Washington. The sentiments and princi- 
ples emanating from such sources, upon a subject so momentous, 
cannot fail to be highly interesting and instructive to the young 
statesmen and patriots of our country ; while, to every American 
citizen capable of reading and understanding, they will be an in- 
valuable means of judging properly of the views and principles 






270 

of the public men who may be candidates for their suffrage and 
favor ; for, if their declarations and sentiments contradict those 
contained in these inaugural addresses, doubts may well be enter- 
tained of their soundness or sincerity, and every man will be jus- 
tified, in the exercise of his birthright as an American citizen, in 
supporting the Constitution as understood and executed by its 
framers and best friends. 

2. THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF GEORGE WASHING- 

TON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, 

April 30, 1789, 

(Will be found with his political acts in Chapter 4, p. 211.) 

3. INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF JOHN ADAMS, PRESIDENT 

OF THE UNITED STATES. 

March 4, 1797. 

When it was first perceived, in early times, that no middle 
course for America remained between unlimited submission to a 
foreign legislature and a total independence of its claims, men of 
reflection were less apprehensive of danger from the formidable 
power of fleets and armies they must determine to resist, than from 
those contests and dissensions which would certainly arise con- 
cerning the forms of government to be instituted over the whole 
and over the parts of this extensive country. Relying, however, 
on the purity of their intentions, the justice of their cause, and the 
integrity and intelligence of the people, under an overruling Pro- 
vidence, which had so signally protected this country from the 
first, the representatives of this nation, then consisting of little 
more than half its present number, not only broke to pieces the 
chains which were forging, and the rod of iron that was lifted up, 
but frankly cut asunder the ties which had bound them, and 
launched into an ocean of uncertainty. 

The zeal and ardor of the people, during the revolutionary war, 
supplying the place of government, commanded a degree of order, 
sufficient at least for the temporary preservation of society. The 
Confederation, which was early felt to be necessary, was prepared 
from the models of the Batavian and Helvetic confederacies — the 
only examples which remain, with any detail and precision, in 
history, and certainly the only ones which the people at large had 
ever considered. But, reflecting on the striking difference, in so 
many particulars, between this country and those where a courier 



271 

may go from the seat of government to the frontier in a single day, 
it was then certainly foreseen, by some who assisted in Congress 
at the formation of it, that it could not be durable. 

Negligence of its regulations, inattention to its recommenda- 
tions, if not disobedience to its authority, not only in individuals, 
but in States, soon appeared, with their melancholy consequences; 
universal languor; jealousies and rivalries of States; decline of 
navigation and commerce ; discouragement of necessary manufac- 
tures ; universal fall in the value of lands and their produce ; con- 
tempt of public and private faith ; loss of consideration and credit 
with foreign nations ; and, at length, in discontents, animosities, 
combinations, partial conventions, and insurrection, threatening 
some great national calamity. 

In this dangerous crisis, the people of America were not aban- 
doned by their usual good sense, presence of mind, resolution, or 
integrity. Measures were pursued to concert a plan to form a 
more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquillity, 
provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and 
secure the blessings of liberty. The public disquisitions, discus- 
sions, and deliberations, issued in the present happy constitution 
of government. 

Employed in the service of my country abroad during the whole 
course of these transactions, I first saw the Constitution of the 
United States in a foreign country. Irritated by no literary alter- 
cation, animated by no public debate, heated by no party animo- 
sity, I read it with great satisfaction, as the result of good heads, 
prompted by good hearts — as an experiment, better adapted to the 
genius, character, situation, and relations, of this nation and coun- 
try, than any which had ever been proposed or suggested. In its 
general principles and great outlines, it was conformable to such a 
system of government as I had ever most esteemed, and in some 
States, my own native State in particular, had contributed to esta- 
blish. Claiming a right of suffrage, in common with my fellow- 
citizens, in the adoption or rejection of a Constitution which was 
to rule me and my posterity, as well as them and theirs, I did not 
hesitate to express my approbation of it, on all occasions, in public 
and in private. It was not then, nor has been since, any objection 
to it, in my mind, that the Executive and Senate were not more 
permanent. Nor have I ever entertained a thought of promoting 
any alteration in it, but such as the people themselves, in the 
course of their experience, should see and feel to be necessary or 
expedient, and, by their representatives in Congress and the State 
legislatures, according to the Constitution itself, adopt and ordain. 

Returning to the bosom of my country, after a painful separation 
from it, for ten years, I had the honor to be elected to a station 
under the new order of things, and I have repeatedly laid myself 



272 

under the most, serious obligations to support the Constitution. 
The operation of it has equalled the most sanguine expectations 
of its friends; and, from an habitual attention to it, satisfaction in 
its administration, and delight in its effects upon the peace, order, 
prosperity and happiness of the nation, I have acquired an habitual 
attachment to it and veneration for it. 

What other form of government, indeed, can so well deserve 
our esteem and love? 

There may be little solidity in an ancient idea, that congrega- 
tions of men into cities and nations are the most pleasing objects 
in the sight of superior intelligences ; but this is very certain, that, 
to a benevolent human mind, there can be no spectacle presented 
by any nation more pleasing, more noble, majestic, or august, than 
an assembly like that which has so often been seen in this and the 
other chamber of Congress, of a government in which the execu- 
tive authority, as well as that of all the branches of the legisla- 
ture, are exercised by citizens selected, at regular periods, by their 
neighbors, to make and execute laws for the general good. Can 
any thing essential, any thing more than mere ornament and deco- 
ration, be added to this by robes and diamonds 1 Can authority be 
more amiable and respectable when it descends from accidents, or 
institutions established in remote antiquity, than when it springs 
fresh from the hearts and judgments of an honest and enlightened 
people? For it is the people only that are represented : it is their 
power and majesty that is reflected, and only for their good, in 
every legitimate government, under whatever form it may appear. 
The existence of such a government as ours, for any length of 
time, is a full proof of a general dissemination of knowledge and 
virtue throughout the whole body of the people. And what object 
or consideration more pleasing than this can be presented to the 
human mind? If national pride is ever justifiable, or excusable, 
it is when it springs, not from power or riches, grandeur or glory, 
but from conviction of national innocence, information, and be- 
nevolence. 

In the midst of these pleasing ideas, we should be unfaithful to 
ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our liber- 
ties — if any thing partial or extraneous should infect the purity of 
our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections. If an election 
is to be determined by a majority of a single vote, and that can be 
procured by a party, through artifice or corruption, the government 
may be the choice of a party, for its own ends — not of the nation, 
for the national good. If that solitary suffrage can be obtained by 
foreign nations by flattery or menaces, by fraud or violence, by 
terror, intrigue, or venality, the government may not be the choice 
of the American people, but of foreign nations. It may be foreign 
nations who govern us, and not we the people who govern our- 



273 

selves. And candid men will acknowledge, that, in such cases, 
choice would have little advantage to boast of, over lot or chance. 

Such is the amiable and interesting- system of government (and 
such are some of the abuses to which it may be exposed) which 
the people of America have exhibited to the admiration and anxiety 
of the wise and virtuous of all nations, for eight years, under the 
administration of a citizen, who, by a long course of great actions, 
regulated by prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude, conduct- 
ing a people inspired with the same virtues, and animated with the 
same ardent patriotism and love of liberty, to independence and 
peace, to increasing wealth and unexampled prosperity, has merited 
the gratitude of his fellow-citizens, commanded the highest praises 
of foreign nations, and secured immortal glory with posterity. 

In that retirement which is his voluntary choice, may he long 
live to enjoy the delicious recollection of his services, the grati- 
tude of mankind, the happy fruits of them to himself and the 
world, which are daily increasing, and that splendid prospect of 
the future fortunes of this country which is opening from year to 
year. His name may be still a rampart, and the knowledge that 
he lives a bulwark, against all open or secret enemies of his coun- 
try's peace. This example has been recommended to the imitation 
of his successors, by both houses of Congress, and by the voice 
of the legislatures and the people throughout the nation. 

On this subject it might become me better to be silent, or to 
speak with diffidence; but, as something may be expected, the 
occasion, I hope, will be admitted as an apology, if I venture to 
say, That — 

If a preference, upon principle, of a free republican government, 
formed upon long and serious reflection, after a diligent and im- 
partial inquiry after truth; if an attachment to the Constitution of 
the United States, and a conscientious determination to support it, 
until it shall be altered by the judgments and wishes of the people, 
expressed in the mode prescribed in it ; if a respectful attention to 
the constitutions of the individual States, and a constant caution 
and delicacy towards the State governments; if an equal and im- 
partial regard to the rights, interest, honor, and happiness, of all 
the States in the Union, without preference or regard to a northern 
or southern, an eastern or western position, their various political 
opinions on unessential points, or their personal attachments ; if a 
love of virtuous men, of all parties and denominations ; if a love 
of science and letters, and a wish to patronize every rational effort 
to encourage schools, colleges, universities, academies, and every 
institution for propagating knowledge, virtue, and religion, among 
all classes of the people, not only for their benign influence on the 
happiness of life in all its stages and classes, and of society in all 
its forms, but as the only means of preserving our Constitution 

27 



274 

from its natural enemies, the spirit of sophistry, the spirit of party, 
the spirit of intrigue, the profligacy of corruption, and the pesti 
ience of foreign influence, which is the angel of destruction to 
elective governments ; if a love of equal laws, of justice, and hu 
manity, in the interior administration; if an inclination to improve 
agriculture, commerce, and manufactures for necessity, conve- 
nience, and defence; if a spirit of equity and humanity towards 
the aboriginal nations of America, and a disposition to meliorate 
their condition, by inclining them to be more friendly to us, and 
our citizens to be more friendly to them ; if an inflexible determi- 
nation to maintain peace and inviolable faith with all nations, and 
that system of neutrality and impartiality among the belligerent 
powers of Europe wmich has been adopted by this government, 
and so solemnly sanctioned by both houses of Congress, and ap- 
plauded by the legislatures of the States and the public opinion, 
until it shall be otherwise ordained by Congress; if a personal 
esteem for the French nation, formed in a residence of seven years 
chiefly among them, and a sincere desire to preserve the friendship 
which has been so much for the honor and interest of both nations ; 
if, w T hile the conscious honor and integrity of the people of 
America, and the internal sentiment of their own power and ener- 
gies, must be preserved, an earnest endeavor to investigate every 
Just cause, and remove every colorable pretence of complaint; if 
an intention to pursue, by amicable negotiation, a reparation for 
the injuries that have been committed on the commerce of our fel- 
low-citizens, by whatever nation, and, if success cannot be ob- 
tained, to lay the facts before the legislature, that they may con- 
sider what further measures the honor and interest of the Govern- 
ment and its constituents demand ; if a resolution to do justice, as 
far as may depend upon me, at all times and to all nations, and 
maintain peace, friendship, and benevolence, w T ith all the world ; 
if an unshaken confidence in the honor, spirit, and resources of 
the American people, on wmich I have so often hazarded my all, 
and never been deceived ; if elevated ideas of the high destinies 
of this country, and of my own duties towards it, founded on a 
knowledge of the moral principles and intellectual improvements 
of the people, deeply engraven on my mind in early life, and not 
obscured, but exalted, by experience and age ; and, with humble 
reverence, I feel it to be my duty to add, if a veneration for the re- 
ligion of a people who profess and call themselves Christians, and 
a fixed resolution to consider a decent respect for Christianity 
among the best recommendations for the public service, — can en- 
able me, in any degree, to comply with your wishes, it shall be 
my strenuous endeavor that this sagacious injunction of the two 
houses shall not be without effect. 

With this great example before me — with the sense and spirit, 



275 

the faith and honor, the duty and interest, of the same American 
people, pledged to support the Constitution of the United States, 
I entertain no doubt of its continuance in all its energy, and my 
mind is prepared, without hesitation, to lay myself under the most 
solemn obligations to support it to the utmost of my power. 

And may that Being who is supreme over all, the Patron of or- 
der, the Fountain of justice, and the Protector, in all ages of the 
world, of virtuous liberty, continue His blessing upon this nation 
and its Government, and give it all possible success and duration, 
consistent with the ends of his Providence ! 



4. INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF THOMAS JEFFERSON, PRE- 
SIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, AT HIS FIRST TERM 
OF OFFICE. 

Makch 4, 1801. 

Friends and fellow-citizens : 

Called upon to undertake the duties of the first executive office 
of our country, I avail myself of the presence of that portion of 
my fellow-citizens which is here assembled, to express my grateful 
thanks for the favor with which they have been pleased to look 
towards me, to declare a sincere consciousness that the task is 
above my talents, and that I approach it w T ith those anxious and 
awful presentiments which the greatness of the charge and the 
weakness of my powers so justly inspire. A rising nation, spread 
over a wide and fruitful land ; traversing all the seas with the rich 
productions of their industry; engaged in commerce with nations 
who feel power and forget right; advancing rapidly to destinies 
beyond the reach of mortal eye, — when I contemplate these trans- 
cendant objects, and see the honor, the happiness, and the hopes 
of this beloved country committed to the issue and the auspices of 
this day, I shrink from the contemplation, and humble myself be- 
fore the magnitude of the undertaking. Utterly, indeed, should I 
despair, did not the presence of many whom I here see remind mo 
that in the other high authorities provided by our Constitution [ 
shall find resources of wisdom, of virtue, and of zeal, on which to 
rely under all difficulties. To you, then, gentlemen, who are 
charged with the sovereign functions of legislation, and to those 
associated with you, I look with encouragement for that guidance; 
and support which may enable us to steer with safety the vessel in 
which we are all embarked, amidst the conflicting elements of a 
troubled world. 

During the contest of opinion through w r hich we have passed, 
the animation of discussions and of exertions has sometimes worn 
an aspect which might impose on strangers, unused to think 



276 

freely, and to speak and to write what they think; but, this being 
now decided by tin* voice of the nation, announced, according to 
the rules of the Constitution, all will, of course, arrange them- 
selves under the will of the law, and unite in common efforts for 
the common good. All, too, m ill bear in mind this sacred prin- 
ciple, that, though the will of the majority is in all cases to pre- 
vail, that will, to be righl c ul, must be reasonable ; that the minority 
possess their equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and to vio- 
late would be oppression. J jet us, then, fellow-citizens, unite with 
one heart and one mind ; le f . us restore to social intercourse that 
harmony and affection without which liberty and even life itself are 
but dreary things. And let us .'eflect, that, having banished from 
cur land that religious intolerance under which mankind so long 
bled and suffered, we have yet gained little, if we countenance a 
political intolerance as despotic, as wicked, and capable of as bitter 
and bloody persecutions. During the throes and convulsions of 
the ancient world ; during the agonizing spasms of infuriated man, 
seeking, through blood and slaughter, his long-lost liberty, it was 
not wonderful that the agitation of the billows should reach even 
this distant and peaceful shore ; that this should be more felt and 
feared by some, and less by others, and should divide opinions as 
to measures of safety : but every difference of opinion is not a dif- 
ference of principle. We have called by different names brethren 
of the same principle. We are all republicans : we are all federalists. 
If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this Union, 
or to change its republican form, let them stand, undisturbed, as 
monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tole- 
rated, where reason is left free to combat it. I know, indeed, that 
some honest men fear that a republican government cannot be 
strong — that this Government is not strong enough. But would 
the honest patriot, in the full tide of successful experiment, aban- 
don a Government which has so far kept us free and firm, on the 
theoretic and visionary fear that this Government, the world's best 
hope, may, by possibility, want energy to preserve itself? I trust 
not. I believe this, on the contrary, the strongest Government on 
earth. I believe it the only one where every man, at the call of the 
law, would fly to the standard of the law, and would meet inva- 
sions of the public order as his own personal concern. Sometimes 
it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of him- 
self. Can he then be trusted with the government of others ] Or 
have we found angels, in the form of kings, to govern him 1 Let 
history answer this question. 

Let us, then, with courage and confidence, pursue our own fede- 
ral and republican principles — our attachment to union and repre- 
sentative government. Kindly separated by nature and a wide 
ocean from the exterminating havoc of one quarter of the globe ; 



277 

too high-minded to endure the degradations of the others; possess- 
ing a chosen country, with room enough for our descendants to the 
thousandth and thousandth generation ; entertaining a due sense 
of our equal right to the use of our own faculties, to the acquisi- 
tions of our own industry, to honor and confidence from our fellow- 
citizens, resulting, not from birth, but from our actions, and their 
sense of them ; enlightened by a benign religion, professed, in- 
deed, and practised, in various forms, yet all of them inculcating 
honesty, truth, temperance, gratitude, and the love of man ; ac- 
knowledging and adoring an overruling Providence, which, by all 
its dispensations, proves that it delights in the happiness of man 
here, and his greater happiness hereafter, — with all these blessings, 
what more is necessary to make us a happy and prosperous people 1 
Still one thino- more, fellow-citizens: a wise and frugal Govern- 
ment, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall 
leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry 
and improvement, and shall not take from the rnouth of labor the 
bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and 
this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities. 

About to enter, fellow-citizens, on the exercise of duties which 
comprehend every thing dear and valuable to you, it is proper you 
should understand what I deem the essential principles of our Go- 
vernment, and, consequently, those which ought to shape its ad- 
ministration. I will compress them within the narrowest compass 
they will bear — stating the general principle, but not all its limita- 
tions. Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or 
persuasion, religious or political ; peace, commerce, and honest 
friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none; the 
support of the State governments in all their rights, as the most 
competent administrations for our domestic concerns, and the 
surest bulwarks against anti-republican tendencies; the preserva 
tion of the General Government in its whole constitutional vleor. 
as the sheet-anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad; a 
jealous care of the right of election by the people; a mild and safe 
corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword of revolution, 
where peaceable remedies are unprovided ; absolute acquiescence 
in the decisions of the majority, the vital principle of republics, 
from which is no appeal but to force, the vital principle and imme- 
diate parent of despotism ; a well-disciplined militia, our best re- 
e in peace, and for the first moments of war, till regulars may 
ve them ; the supremacy of the civil over the military authority ; 
economy in the public expense, that labor may be lightly bur- 
fl ; the honest payment of our debts, and sacred preservation 
be public faith; encouragement of agriculture, and of com- 
merce as its ha the diffusion of information, and arraign- 
ment of all abuses at the bar of the public reason; freedom of 

27* 



ligion, freedom of the press, and freedom of person, under the 
protection of the habeas corpus ; and trial by juries impartially se- 
lected. These principles form the bright constellation which has 
gone before us, and guided our steps through an age of revolution 
and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our he- 
roes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the 
creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touch- 
stone by which to try the services of those we trust ; and should 
we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us 
hasten to retrace our steps, and to regain the road which alone 
leads to peace, liberty, and safety. 

I repair, then, fellow-citizens, to the post you have assigned me. 
With experience enough in subordinate offices to have seen the 
difficulties of this, the greatest of all, I have learnt to expect that 
it will rarely fall to the lot of imperfect man to retire from this sta- 
tion with the reputation and the favor which brought him into it. 
Without pretensions to that high confidence you reposed in our 
iirst and greatest revolutionary character, whose pre-eminent ser- 
vices had entitled him to the first place in his country's love, and 
destined for him the fairest page in the volume of faithful history, 
I ask so much confidence only as may give firmness and effect to 
the legal administration of your affairs. I shall often go wrong, 
through defect of judgment. When right, I shall often be thought 
wrong by those whose positions will not command a view of the 
whole ground. I ask your indulgence for my own errors, which 
will never be intentional, and your support against the errors of 
others, who may condemn what they would not if seen in all its 
parts. The approbation implied by your suffrage is a great conso- 
lation to me for the past ; and my future solicitude will be, to re- 
tain the good opinion of those who have bestowed it in advance, 
to conciliate that of others by doing them all the good in my 
power, and to be instrumental to the happiness and freedom of all. 

Relying, then, on the patronage of your good will, I advance 
with obedience to the work, ready to retire from it whenever you 
become sensible how much better choices it is in your power to 
make. And may that Infinite power which rules the destinies of 
the universe, lead our councils to what is best, and give them a 
favorable issue for your peace and prosperity.

5. INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF THOMAS JEFFERSON, PRE- 
SIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, AT HIS SECOND 
TERM OF OFFICE. 

March 4, 1805. 

Proceeding-, fellow-citizens, to that qualification which th-e Con- 
stitution requires before my entrance on the charge again conferred 
on me, it is my duty to express the deep sense I entertain of this 
new proof of confidence from my fellow-citizens at large, and the 
zeal with which it inspires me so to conduct myself as may best 
satisfy their just expectations. 

On taking this station, on a former occasion, I declared the prin- 
ciples on which I believed it my duty to administer the affairs of 
our commonwealth. My conscience tells me I have, on every oc- 
casion, acted up to that declaration, according to its obvious im- 
port, and to the understanding of every candid mind. 

In the transaction of your foreign affairs, we have endeavored 
to cultivate the friendship of all nations, and especially of those 
with which we have the most important relations. We have done 
them justice on all occasions, favor where favor was lawful, and 
cherished mutual interests and intercourse on fair and equal terms. 
"We are firmly convinced, and we act on that conviction, that with 
nations, as with individuals, our interests, soundly calculated, will 
ever be found inseparable from our moral duties ; and history bears 
witness to the fact, that a just nation is trusted on its word, when 
recourse is had to armaments and wars to bridle others. 

At home, fellow-citizens, you best know whether we have done 
well or ill. The suppression of unnecessary offices, of useless 
establishments and expenses, enabled us to discontinue our inter- 
nal taxes. These, covering our land with officers, and opening 
our doors to their intrusions, had already begun that process of 
domiciliary vexation, which, once entered, is scarcely to be re- 
strained from reaching, successively, every article of property and 
produce. If, among these taxes, some minor ones fell, which had 
not been inconvenient, it was because their amount would not 
have paid the officers who collected them, and because, if they 
had any merit, the State authorities might adopt them instead of 
others less approved. 

The remaining revenue, on the consumption of foreign articles, is 
paid chiefly by those who can afford to add foreign luxuries to domes- 
tic comforts. Being collected on our seaboard and frontiers only, and 
incorporated with the transactions of our mercantile citizens, it 
be the pleasure and the pride of an American to ask, what 
farmer, what mechanic, what laborer, ever sees a tax-gatherer of 
the United States] These contributions enable us to support the 
current expenses of the Government ; to fulfil contracts with fo- 



280 



reign nations ; to extinguish the native right of soil within our 
limits; to extend those limits; and to apply such a surplus to our 
public debts as places at a short day their final redemption : and, 
that redemption once effected, the revenue thereby liberated may, 
by a just repartition of it among the States, and a corresponding 
amendment of the Constitution, be applied, in time of peace, to 
rivers, canals, ro ids, arts, manufactures, education, and other great 
objects, within each State. In time of war, if injustice by our- 
selves or others must sometimes produce war, 'ncreased, as ihe 
same revenue will be, by increased population and consumption, 
and aided by other resources reserved for that crisis, it may meet, 
within the year, all the expenses of the year, without encroaching 
on the rights of future generations, by burdening them with the 
debts of the past. War will then be but a suspension of useful 
works; and a return to a state of peace, a return to the progress 
of improvement. 

I have said, fellow-citizens, that the income reserved had ena- 
bled us to extend our limits; but that extension may possibly pay 
for itself before we are called on, and, in the mean time, may 
keep down the accruing interest : in all events, it will replace the 
advances we shall have made. I know that the acquisition of Lou- 
isiana has been disapproved by some, from a candid apprehension 
that the enlargement of our territory would endanger its union. 
But who can limit the extent to which the federative principle may 
operate effectively ? The larger our association, the less will it be 
shaken by local passions; and, in any view, is it not better that 
the opposite bank of the Mississippi should be settled by our own 
brethren and children, than by strangers of another family] With 
which should we be most likely to live in harmony and friendly 
intercourse ] 

In matters of religion, I have considered that its free exercise is 
placed by the Constitution independent of the powers of the Gene- 
ral Government. I have therefore undertaken, on no occasion, to 
prescribe the religious exercises suited to it, but have left them, as 
the Constitution found them, under the direction and discipline of 
the church or State authorities acknowledged by the several reli- 
gious societies. 

The aboriginal inhabitants of these countries I have regarded 
with the commiseration their history inspires. Endowed with the 
faculties and the rights of men, breathing an ardent love of liberty 
and independence, and occupying a country which left them no 
desire but to be undisturbed, the stream of overflowing population 
from other regions directed itself on these shores. Without power 
to divert, or habits to contend against it, they have been over- 
whelmed by the current, or driven before it. Now reduced within 
limits too narrow for the hunter state, humanity enjoins us to teach 



281 

them agriculture and the domestic arts, to encourage them to that in- 
dustry which alone can enable them to maintain their place in exist- 
ence, and to prepare them, in time, for that state of society winch 
to bodily comforts adds the improvement of the mind and morals. 
AVe have, therefore, liberally furnished them with the implements 
of husbandry and household use : we have placed among- them in- 
structors in the arts of first necessity ; and they are covered with 
the a?gis of the law against aggressors from among ourselves. 

But the endeavors to enlighten them on the fate which awaits 
their present course of life, to induce them to exercise their reason, 
follow its dictates, and change their pursuits with the change of 
circumstances, have powerful obstacles to encounter. They are 
combated by the habits of their bodies, prejudices of their minds, 
ignorance, pride, and the influence of interested and crafty indi- 
viduals among them, who feel themselves something in the present 
order of things, and fear to become nothing in any other. These 
persons inculcate a sanctimonious reverence for the customs of 
their ancestors; that whatsoever they did must be done through all 
time ; that reason is a false guide, and to advance under its counsel 
in their physical, moral, or political condition, is perilous innova- 
tion ; that their duty is to remain as the Creator made them — igno- 
rance being safety, and knowledge full of danger. In short, my 
friends, among them, also, is seen the action and counteraction of 
good sense and of bigotry. They, too, have their anti-philoso- 
phists, who find an interest in keeping things in their present state, 
who dread reformation, and exert all their faculties to maintain the 
ascendency of habit over the duty of improving our reason and 
obeying its mandates. 

In giving these outlines, I do not mean, fellow-citizens, to arro- 
gate to myself the merit of the measures : that is due, in the first 
place, to the reflecting character of our citizens at large, who, by 
the weight of public opinion, influence and strengthen the public 
measures. It is due to the sound discretion with which they select 
from among themselves those to whom they confide the legislative 
duties. It is due to the zeal and wisdom of the characters thus 
selected, who lay the foundations of public happiness in whole- 
some laws, the execution of which alone remains for others. And 
it is due to the able and faithful auxiliaries whose patriotism has 
associated them with me in the executive functions. 

During this course of administration, and in order to disturb it, 
the artillery of the press has been levelled against us, charged with 
whatsoever its licentiousness could devise or dare. These abuses 
of an institution so important to freedom and science are deeply to 
be regretted, inasmuch as they tend to lessen its usefulness and to 
sap its safety. They might, indeed, have been corrected by the 
wholesome punishments reserved to and provided by the laws ol 



282 

the several States against falsehood and defamation ; but public 
duties, more urgent, press on the time of public servants, and the 
offenders have therefore been left to find their punishment in the 
public indignation. 

Nor was it uninteresting to the world, that an experiment should 
be fairly and fully made, whether freedom of discussion, unaided 
by power, is not sufficient for the propagation and protection of 
truth 1 Whether a government, conducting itself in the true spirit 
of its constitution, with zeal and purity, and doing no act which 
it would be unwilling the whole world should witness, can be 
written down by falsehood and defamation'? The experiment has 
been tried. You have witnessed the scene. Our fellow-citizens 
looked on cool and collected. They saw the latent source from 
which these outrages proceeded. They gathered around their pub- 
lic functionaries; and, when the Constitution called them to the 
decision by suffrage, they pronounced their verdict honorable to 
those who had served them, and consolatory to the friend of man, 
who believes that he may be trusted with the control of his own 
affairs. 

No inference is here intended that the laws provided by the 
States against false and defamatory publications should not be en- 
forced. He who has time, renders a service to public morals and 
public tranquillity in reforming these abuses by the salutary "coer- 
cions of the law. But the experiment is noted to prove that, since 
truth and reason have maintained their ground against false opi- 
nions, in league with false facts, the press, confined to truth, needs 
no other legal restraint. The public judgment will correct false 
reasonings and opinions, on a full hearing of all parties ; and no 
other definite line can be drawn between the inestimable liberty of 
the press and its demoralizing licentiousness. If there be still 
improprieties which this rule would not restrain, its supplement 
must be sought in the censorship of public opinion. 

Contemplating the union of sentiment now manifested so gen- 
erally, as auguring harmony and happiness to our future course, I 
offer to our country sincere congratulations. With those, too, not 
yet rallied to the same point, the disposition to do so is gaining 
strength. Facts are piercing through the veil drawn over them ; 
and our doubting brethren will at length see that the mass of their 
fellow-citizens, with whom they cannot yet resolve to act, as to 
principles and measures, think as they think, and desire what they 
desire ; that our wish, as well as theirs, is, that the public efforts 
may be directed honestly to the public good, that peace be culti- 
vated, civil and religious liberty unassaile^d, law and order pre- 
served, equality of rights maintained, and that state of property, 
equal or unequal, which results to every man from his own indus- 
try or that of his father's. When satisfied of these views, it is 



283 

not in human nature that they should not approve and support 
them. In the mean time, let us cherish them with patient affec- 
tion ; let us do them justice, and more than justice, in all compe- 
titions of interest, — and we need not doubt that truth, reason, and 
their own interests, will at length prevail — will gather them into 
the fold of their country, and will complete that entire union of 
opinion which gives to a nation the blessing of harmony, and the 
benefit of all its strength. 

I shall now enter on the duties to which my fellow-citizens have 
again called me, and shall proceed in the spirit of those principles 
which they have approved. I fear not that any motives of interest 
may lead me astray. I am sensible of no passion which could se- 
duce me, knowingly, from the path of justice; but the weaknesses 
of human nature, and the Jimits of my own understanding, will 
produce errors of judgment sometimes injurious to .your interests. 
I shall need, therefore, all the indulgence which I have heretofore 
experienced from my constituents. The want of it will certainly 
not lessen with increasing years. I shall need, too, the favor of 
that Being in whose hands we are ; who led our fathers, as Israel 
of old, from their native land, and planted them in a country flow- 
ing with all the necessaries and comforts of life ; who has covered 
our infancy with His providence, and our riper years with His 
wisdom and power; and to whose goodness I ask you to join in 
supplications with me, that He will so enlighten the minds of your 
servants, guide their councils, and prosper their measures, that 
whatsoever they do shall result in your good, and shall secure to 
you the peace, friendship, and approbation of all nations. 

6. INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF JAMES MADISON, PRESI- 
DENT OF THE UNITED STATES, AT HIS FIRST TERM 
OF OFFICE. 

March 4, 1809. 

Gentlemen of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives .• 

Unwilling to depart from examples of the most revered authority, 
1 avail myself of the occasion now presented, to express the pro- 
found impression made on me, by the call of my country, to the 
station, to the duties of which I am about to pledge myself, by the 
most solemn of sanctions. So distinguished a mark of confidence, 
proceeding from the deliberate and tranquil suffrage of a free and 
virtuous nation, would, under any circumstances, have commanded 
my gratitude and devotion, as well as filled me with an awful sense 
of the trust to be assumed. Under the various circumstances which 
give peculiar solemnity to the existing period, I feel that both the 



284 



honor and the responsibility allotted to me, are inexpressibly en- 
hanced. 

The present situation of the world is, indeed, without a parallel ; 
and that of our country full of difficulties. The pressure of these 
two is the more severely felt, because they have fallen upon us at 
a moment when national prosperity, being at a height not before 
attained, the contrast resulting from this change has been rendered 
the more striking. Under the benign influence of our republican 
institutions, and the maintenance of peace with all nations, whilst 
so many of them were engaged in bloody and wasteful wars, the 
fruits of a just policy were enjoyed in an unrivalled growth of our 
faculties and resources. Proofs of this were seen in the improve- 
ments of agriculture ; in the successful enterprises of commerce; 
in the progress of manufactures and useful arts; in the increase of 
the public revenue, and the use made of it in reducing the public 
debt ; and in the valuable works and establishments everywhere 
multiplying over the face of our land. 

It is a precious reflection, that the transition from this prosperous 
condition of our county, to the scene which has for some time 
been distressing us, is not chargeable on any unwarrantable views, 
nor, as I trust, on any involuntary errors in the public councils. 
Indulging no passions which trespass on the rights or the respose 
of other nations, it has been the true glory of the United States to 
cultivate peace, by observing justice, and to entitle themselves to 
the respect of the nations at war, by fulfilling their neutral obliga- 
tions with the most scrupulous impartiality. If there be candor 
in the world, the truth of these assertions will not be questioned. 
Posterity, at least, will do justice to them. 

This unexceptionable course could not avail against the injustice 
and violence of the belligerent powers. In their rage against each 
other, or impelled by more direct motives, principles of retaliation 
have been introduced, equally contrary to universal reason and ac- 
knowledged law. How long their arbitrary edicts will be con- 
tinued, in spite of the demonstrations that not even a pretext for 
them has been given by the United States, and of the fair and 
liberal attempts to induce a revocation of them, cannot be antici- 
pated. Assuring myself that, under every vicissitude, the deter- 
mined spirit and united councils of the nation will be safeguards 
to its honor and its essential interests, I repair to the post assigned 
me, with no other discouragement than what springs from my own 
inadequacy to its high duties. If I do not sink under the weight 
of this deep conviction, it is because I find some support in a con- 
sciousness of the purposes, and a confidence in the principles 
which I bring with me into this arduous service. 

To cherish peace and friendly intercourse with all nations, having 
correspondent dispositions ; to maintain sincere neutrality towards 



285 

belligerent nations ; to prefer, in all cases, amicable discussion and 
reasonable accommodation of differences, to a decision of them by 
an appeal to arms ; to exclude foreign intrigues and foreign par- 
tialities, so degrading to all countries, and so baneful to free ones ; 
to foster a spirit of independence ; too just to invade the rights of 
others; too proud to surrender our own; too liberal to indulge un- 
worthy prejudices ourselves, and too elevated not to look down 
upon them in others ; to hold the union of the States as the basis 
of their peace and happiness ; to support the Constitution, which 
is the cement of the Union, as well in its limitations as in its au- 
thorities ; to respect the rights and authorities reserved to the 
States and to the people, as equally incorporated with, and essen- 
tial to the success of the general system ; to avoid the slightest 
interference with the rights of conscience, or the functions of reli- 
gion, so wisely exempted from civil jurisdiction ; to preserve, to 
their full energy, the other salutary provisions in behalf of private 
and personal rights, and of the freedom of the press ; to observe 
economy in public expenditures ; to liberate the public resources 
by an honorable discharge of the public debts ; to keep within the 
requisite limits a standing military force, always remembering, that 
an armed and trained militia is the firmest bulwark of republics ; 
that without standing armies their liberty can never be in danger, 
nor, with large ones, safe ; to promote, by authorized means, im- 
provements friendly to agriculture, to manufactures, and to external 
as well as internal commerce; to favor, in like manner, the ad- 
vancement of science and the diffusion of information, as the best 
aliment to true liberty ; to carry on the benevolent plans which 
have been so meritoriously applied to the conversion of our abori- 
ginal neighbors, from the degradation and wretchedness of savage 
life, to a participation of the improvements of which the human 
mind and manners are susceptible in a civilized state: As far as 
sentiments and intentions such as these can aid the fulfilment of 
my duty, they will be a resource which cannot fail me. 

It is my good fortune, moreover, to have the path in which I am 
to tread, lighted by examples of illustrious services, successfully 
rendered in the most trying difficulties, by those who have marched 
before me. Of those of my immediate predecessor, it might least 
become me here to speak — I may, however, be pardoned for not 
suppressing the sympathy, with which my heart is full, in the rich 
reward he enjoys in the benedictions of a beloved country, grate- 
fully bestowed for exalted talents, zealously devoted, through a 
long career, to the advancement of its highest interest and happi- 
ness. But the source to which I look for the aids, which alone 
can supply my deficiencies, is in the well-tried intelligence and 
virtue of my fellow-citizens, and in the councils of those repre- 
senting them in the other departments associated in the care of the 

28 



286 

national interests. In these my confidence will, under every diffi- 
culty, be best placed; next to that which we have all been en- 
couraged to feel in the guardianship and guidance of that Almighty 
Being, whose power regulates the destiny of nations, whose bless- 
ings have been so conspicuously dispensed to this rising Republic, 
and to whom we are bound to address our devout gratitude for the 
past, as well as our fervent supplications and best hopes for the 
future.

the subjects, citizens, or property, of any foreign prince or State, or of 
any colony, district, or people, with whom the United States are at

CHAPTER 7. 

EXPLANATORY NOTES OF THE FOLLOWING TABLES. 

1. The tables of Electoral votes for President and 
Vice President of the United States, commencing with 
page 311, present an historical synopsis of the lead- 
ing political sentiments of the American people, from the 
adoption of the Constitution to the present time, as in- 
dicated by the votes given for the distinguished indi- 
viduals whose opinions were supposed to imbody, from 
time to time, those sentiments, and a biographical notice 
of the individuals themselves ; the statement of whose 
names alone will recall to memory their meritorious public 
services and exalted characters. 

2. The table commencing with page 330, of the terms 
of office and length of service, in the Senate, of the Vice 
Presidents and Presidents pro tempore, may be supposed, 
generally, to show, from time to time, the leading poli- 
tical sentiments of the majority of that honorable body, 
as indicated by the choice of Senators to occupy the 
station of President pro tempore, whose political senti- 
ments were, at the time, well known. This table also 
shows the commencement and termination of, as well as the 
number of days in, each Session of Congress and special 



306 






session of the Senate, from the 4th March, 1789, to the 
termination of the second session of the twenty-ninth 
Congress, being the 3d March, 1847. 

3. The table commencing with page 340 shows the 
names, and the commencement and termination of the 
service, of every Senator of the United States, from the 
4th March, 1789, to the 3d March, 1847, being the 
termination of the second session, twenty-ninth Congress. 
A geographical, rather than an alphabetical, arrange- 
ment was preferred, for the reason that a regular succes- 
sion may be traced in the service of the several classes 
of Senators of each State, from the commencement of the 
Government, or the admission of such State into the Union, 
to the present time. 

This table practically illustrates that provision of the 
Constitution which directs the arrangement of the Senators 
into three classes, whose terms of service expire alter- 
nately every two years, exhibiting the progressive appli- 
cation of the principle to the Senators from new States 
as they become qualified, by which the three classes are 
preserved equal in number, or as nearly so as practicable 
— one-third being elected biennially, and two-thirds being, 
at all times, prepared to attend the call of their country 
for the transaction of Legislative, Executive, or Judicial 
business ; or, indeed, by a provident arrangement of the 
State Legislatures (as is the prevailing practice) in re- 
electing the Senators whose terms of service are about 



307 

to expire, or electing others in anticipation of vacancies, 
the Senate may preserve a continued existence in full 
force. 

4. The fourth table, page 376, contains the names and 
the commencement and termination of service of the 
secretaries of the Senate of the United States, there 
having been only four individuals in the occupancy of 
that responsible office from the commencement of the 
Government under the Constitution to the present time, 
a circumstance which has preserved to this Honorable 
Body the advantages of accumulated experience in the 
Officers in their sendee. 

5. The table commencing with page 378, exhibits the 
names and terms of service of the Representatives in 
Congress who have been elected to, and have occupied, 
the distinguished station of Speaker of the House of Re- 
presentatives of the United States, from the 4th March, 
1789, to the 3d March, 1847, and the names of the States 
of which they were Representatives. 

6. The sixth table, page 380, contains the names, and 
the commencement and termination of service of the Clerks 
of the House of Representatives of the United States, from 
which it appears that twelve changes have taken place 
in the occupancy of this office since the 4th March, 
1789 ; making an average of less than five years' service 
to each individual, a circumstance which has sometimes 
deprived that Honorable House of much of the advan- 






308 

tage of accumulated experience, which the business of 
legislation and the public interest so constantly require 
in the service of Legislative Bodies. 

The second and fourth tables embrace the names of all 
those individuals who have occupied the stations of Vice 
President, President pro tempore, and Speaker of the 
House of Representatives ; the occupants of which offices 
have been constituted a reserve corps by the provisions 
of the Constitution, and of the act of Congress of the 1st 
March, 1792, in the order in w T hich they are here men- 
tioned, to fill the office of President of the United States, 
in the event of its becoming vacant by any of the casu- 
alties enumerated in the Constitution. Hence has arisen 
the practice of the Vice President's retiring from the 
Chair of the Senate a short time previous to the adjourn- 
ment of each session, with the view of affording the 
Senate an opportunity of choosing a President pro 
tempore, who, according to the prevailing practice, would 
hold that office until the reappearance of the Vice Presi- 
dent in the Senate ; and, should any casualty deprive 
the country of the services of the President and Vice Pre- 
sident acting as President, during the recess of Congress, 
the President pro tempore so chosen, according to the pre- 
vailing understanding, w T ould be prepared to occupy that 
office until a President could be elected ; which office 
would otherwise, however, devolve on the Speaker of the 
House of Representatives, should the vacancy happen 



309 

during the existence of a Congress ; but should there be 
no President pro tempore, and the vacancy occur during 
a recess, after the expiration of one Congress and pre- 
vious to the assembling of another, while there was no 
Speaker, there would then be no officer to fill that high 
and responsible station. 

These tables may afford a useful suggestion of the im- 
portance of preserving the biography of distinguished 
citizens who may have been, or may be called to im- 
portant public stations, with a view of extending the 
practical political history of the country, which, perhaps, 
could not be more effectually developed than by a 
faithful delineation of the characters, principles, and 
acts of the American statesmen, whose wisdom and 
patriotism have elevated the character of the Republic, 
and will continue to guide its destinies, as it is fervently 
hoped, through the long vista of ages to the consummation 
of time.

The electoral vote for Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr being equal, no choice 
was made by the people, and the House of Representatives proceeded on Wed- 
nesday, February 11, 1S01, in the manner prescribed by the Constitution to the 
choice of a President of the United States. On the first ballot eight States voted for 
Thomas Jefferson, of Virginia, six States voted for Aaron Burr, of New York, 
and the votes of two States were divided. The balloting continued until Tuesday, 
17th February, 1801, when the thirty-fifth ballot, as had all the previous ballots, 
resulted the same as the first. The House then proceeded to the thirty-sixth 
ballot, and it having been concluded, the Speaker declared that the votes of ten 
States had been given for Thomas Jefferson, of Virginia, the votes of four States 
for Aaron Burr, of New York, and the votes of two States in blank ; and that, 
consequently, Thomas Jefferson, of Virginia, had been, agreeably to the Constitu- 
tion, elected President of the United States, for the term of four years, commenc- 
ing on the 4th day of March, 1801. 

Thomas Jefferson, thus elected, took the oath of office, and entered upon his 
duties on 4th of March, 1801. 

Aaron Burr, as Vice President, took the oath of office, and entered upon his 
duties on 4th of March, 1801.

Tuesday, April 6, 1841. 
Immediately after the decease of the President, Mr. Webster, jr., 
Chief Clerk in the Department of State, accompanied by Mr. Beall, an 
officer of the Senate, set out for the residence of the Vice President, in 
Virginia, bearing to him the following letter : 

Washington, April 4, 1841. 
To John Tyler, 

Vice President of the United States. 
Sir : It has become our most painful duty to inform you that William 
Henry Harrison, late President of the United States, has departed this 
life. 

This distressing event took place this day, at the President's Mansion 
in this city, at thirty minutes before one in the morning. 

We lose no time in despatching the Chief Clerk in the State Depart- 
ment, as a special messenger, to bear you these melancholy tidings. 

We have the honor to be, with the highest regard, your obedient 
servants, 

DANIEL WEBSTER, 
Secretary of State.

Secretary of the Treasury, 
JOHN BELL, 

Secretary of War.

City of Washington, D. C. 

Wednesday April 7, 1841. 

By the extraordinary despatch used in sending the official intelligence 
to the Vice President, at Williamsburg, and similar despatch by him in 
repairing to the seat of Government, John Tyler, now President of the 
United States, arrived in this city yesterday morning, at 5 o'clock, and 
took lodgings at Brown's Hotel. 

At 12 o'clock, all the Heads of Departments, except the Secretary of 
the Navy, (who has not yet returned to the city from his visit to his 
family,) waited upon him, to pay him their official and personal respects. 
They were received with all the politeness and kindness which charac- 
terize the new President. He signified his deep feeling of the public 
calamity sustained by the death of President Harrison, and expressed 
his profound sensibility to the heavy responsibilities so suddenly de- 
volved upon himself. He spoke of the present state of things with 
great concern and seriousness, and made known his wishes that the 
several Heads of Departments would continue to fill the places which 
they now respectively occupy, and his confidence that they would afford 
all the aid in their power to enable him to carry on the administration 
of the Government successfully. 

The President then took and subscribed the following oath of office : 

I do solemnly sw r ear, that I will faithfully execute the office of Presi- 
dent of the United States, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, 
protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. 

JOHN TYLER. 

April 6, 1841. 

District of Columbia, 

City and County of Washington, ss. 

I, William Cranch, Chief Judge of the Circuit Court of the District 
of Columbia, certify, that the above-named John Tyler personally ap- 
peared before me this day, and, although he deems himself qualified to 
perform the duties, and exercise the powers and office of President on 
the death of William Henry Harrison, late President of the United 
States, without any other oath than that which he has taken as Vice 
President, yet, as doubts may arise, and for greater caution, took and 
subscribed the foregoing oath before me. 

W. CRANCH.

CHAPTER 10. 

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

Chronological statement of the formation of the govern- 
ments of the several States; of their becoming members 
of the Union by their adoption or ratification of the Con- 
stitution of the United States, or by their admission as 
States since the establishment of the Constitution ; with 
a particular account of the progress of each of the lat- 
ter, either from the condition of territorial dependencies, 
or independent governments, to the rank of States. 

Monday, September 5, 1774. 
A number of Delegates, chosen and appointed by the several Colonies 
and Provinces in North America, met to hold a Congress at Philadel- 
phia, and assembled in Carpenter's Hall. 

Tuesday, September 6, 1774. 

Resolved, That in determining questions in this Congress, each Co- 
lony or Province shall have one vote — The Congress not being pos- 
sessed of, or at present able to procure proper materials for ascertaining 
the importance of each Colony. 

[This principle was confirmed by the Articles of Confederation which 
declared that, "In determining questions in the United States, in Con 
gress assembled, each State shall have one vote." And they further 
declared that certain enumerated powers should never be determined 
by Congress, "unless nine States assent to the same: nor shall a ques- 
tion on any other point, except for adjourning from day to day, be deter- 
mined, unless by the votes of a majority of the United States in Congress 
nbled." — These extracts show the relative authority or importance 
of the several States in the exercise of the sovereign power under the 
Confederation.] 

Tuesday, July 2, 1776. 
Resolved, That these United Colonies are, and, of 
right, ought to be, Free and Independent States ; that 



398 

they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, 
and that all political connexion between them, and the 
State of Great Britain, is, and ought to be, totally dis- 
solved. 

Thursday, July 4, 1776. 
The Congress agreed to A Declaration of Independence by the 
Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress 
assembled, to be signed by the members from the several States, which 
will be found in this volume. 

Monday, September 9, 1776. 
Resolved, That in all continental commissions, and other instruments, 
where, heretofore, the words "United Colonies" have been used, the 
style be altered, for the future, to the United States. 

Saturday, November 15, 1777. 
The Articles of Confederation and perpetual Union of the United 
States of America were agreed to by the Delegates cf the thirteen 
original States in Congress assembled, subject to the ratification 
of the Legislatures of the several States. 

These articles were ratified by 8 States on the 9th July, 1778 
Ditto. . • . . . 1 State . . 21st July, 1778 

Ditto 1 State . . . 24th July, 1778 

Ditto 1 State . . 26th Xov. 1778 

Ditto 1 State . . . 22d Feb., 1779 

Ditto 1 State . . 1st March, 1781 

The ratification was therefore completed on the 1st March, 1781,* 
the articles being dated the 9th July, 1778, and this completed the 
bond of union of the thirteen original States, whose delegates as- 
sembled in Congress continued to legislate and execute the powers 
of the United States under the Articles of Confederation until the 
4th March, 1789, wjien, by their resolution of the 13th September, 
1788, the Constitution of the United States, also adopted and rati- 
fied by the people of the said original States, went into operation, 

* Vide the notes under '•' Ohio" for the cause of the delay on the part of Mary- 
land to ratify the Articles of Confederation until March 1. 1781.

forming thereby a more perfect Union of the People for the 
Government of the United States of America. 

The thirteen original States that formed and confirmed 
the Union by the adoption of the Constitution, are as fol- 
lows : —

Embraced under the charter? of Massachusetts, and continued under the same 
jurisdiction until September 18, 1679, when a separate charter and government

on March 19, 1778, and June 3, 1790. 

Ratified the Constitution of the United States, May 23, 1788. 

GEORGIA. 

Chartered on June 9, 1732; formed a Constitution on February 5, 1777, a se- 
cond in 1785, and a third on May 30. 1798. 
Ratified the Constitution of the United States, January 2, 1783. 

The privilege of becoming members of the American Union by 
the mere ratification of the Constitution, was reserved to those 
States alone that were parties to the previous confederation and 
the compact or convention by which the Constitution was formed. 
The ratification of nine States being sufficient for the establish- 
ment of the Constitution; and, it having been ratified by eleven 
States, it was determined by Congress, on the 13th September, 



401 

1788, under the resolutions of the convention, that the Constitu- 
tion had been established, and that it should go into operation on 
the first Wednesday (4th day) of March, 1789. — It therefore ap- 
pears that two of the States did not ratify the Constitution until 
after its establishment, yet they were not treated as new States, 
requiring particular forms of admission, but their Senators and 
Representatives, as provided for in the 2d sect. 1st art. of the 
Constitution, were admitted in Congress upon the presentation of 

their authenticated forms of ratification. It was considered neces- 

* 
sary, however, that the laws of the United States passed previous 

to their accession should be extended to them by special acts. 

The Union having been thus completed, and its Constitution 
and government established, the United States under the 3d section 
of the 4th article of the Constitution reserved to themselves, in 
Congress assembled, the right and the power to admit new States, 
by declaring that " New States may be admitted by the Congress 
into this Union;" and, as the 4th section of the same article re- 
quires, that "The United States shall guarantee to every State in 
this Union a Republican form of government," it has in practice 
been deemed a pre-requisite that the people proposing to form a new 
State be authorized by law to form a Constitution, to be submitted 
to Congress, to enable that body to judge of its Republican cha- 
racter, before proceeding to exercise that high and sovereign power 
of admitting a distinct community of people to the inestimable 
rights, privileges, and immunities, secured by the organization of a 
State government, — and upon an equal footing, in all respects 
whatsoever, with those States that jointly achieved the independ- 
ence of the country, and which, together with those that have be- 
come members of the Union since that eventful period, have borne 
the hardships, trials, and difficulties, both internal and external, 
through which the nation has passed, and which have secured the 
stability, power, and happiness of the country. 

The Constitution of the United States declares, that " new States 
may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new 
State shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other 
State, nor any State be formed by the junction of two or more 



402 

States, or parts of States, without the consent of the legislatures of 
the States concerned as well as of the Congress." 

Upon this clause, James Madison, in the " Federalist," makes 
the following remarks : — 

"In the articles of Confederation, no provision is found on this im- 
portant subject. Canada was to be admitted of right, on her joining in 
the measures of the United States ; and the other colonies, by which were 
evidently meant, the other British Colonies, at the discretion of nine 
States. The eventual establishment of new States seems to have been 
overlooked by the compilers of that instrument. We have seen the in- 
convenience of this omission, and the assumption of power into which 
Congress have been led by it. With great propriety, therefore, has the 
new system supplied the defect. The general precaution, that no new 
State shall be formed without the concurrence of the Federal authority, 
and that of the States concerned, is consonant to the principles which 
ought to govern such transactions. The particular precaution against 
the erection of new States, by the partition of a State without its con- 
sent, quiets the jealousy of the larger States ; as that of the smaller is 
quieted by a like precaution, against a junction of States without their 
consent." 

The Constitution also declares that " the Congress shall have 
power to dispose of, and make all needful rules and regulations re- 
specting the territory or other property belonging to the United 
States ; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as 
to prejudice any claims of the United States, or of any particular 
State." 

Under this clause, Congress exercises the power of creating 
territorial governments, which in process of time, by the increase 
of population and other concurrent causes, apply, on behalf of the 
people, for authority to form constitutions and state governments, 
with a view to admission into the Union, at a future period, and it 
is for the Congress of the United States in the exercise of their high 
constitutional powers, and under the solemn responsibilities imposed 
upon them as guardians of the rights and the welfare of the whole 
Union, to judge of the expediency and the time of admitting the peo- 
ple who may have become inhabitants of such territories, to all the 
peculiar and inestimable rights, privileges, and immunities of the 



403 

citizens of one of the United States of America. Mr. Madison re- 
marks upon this point that, 

" This is a power of very great importance, and required by considera- 
tions similar to those which show the propriety of the former. The 
proviso annexed is very proper in irself, and was probably rendered 
absolutely necessary by jealousies and questions concerning the western 
territory sufficiently known to the public." 

But the Constitution requires that "The United States shall 
guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Go- 
vernment, and shall protect each of them against Invasion ; and on 
Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive, (when the 
Legislature cannot be convened,) against domestic Violence." And, 
upon this clause, Mr. Madison has expressed in the "Federalist" 
the following wise and just sentiments : 

u In a Confederacy founded on republican principles, and composed of 
republican members, the superintending government ought clearly to 
possess authority to defend the system against aristocratic or monarchical 
innovations. The more intimate the nature of such a Union may be, 
the greater interest have the members in the political institutions of each 
other ; and the greater right to insist, that the forms of government under 
which the compact was entered into, should be substantially maintained. 

"But a right implies a remedy; and where else could the remedy 
be deposited, than where it is deposited by the Constitution ? Govern- 
ments of dissimilar principles and forms have been found less adapted to 
a federal coalition of any sort than those of a kindred nature. ' As the 
confederate republic of Germany,' says Montesquieu, ' consists of free 
cities and petty States, subject to different princes, experience shows us, 
that it is more imperfect than that of Holland and Switzerland.' ' Greece 
was undone,' he adds, ' as soon as the king of Macedon obtained a seat 
among the Amphictyons.' In the latter case, no doubt, the dispropor- 
tionate force, as well as the monarchical form of the new confederate, 
had its share of influence on the events. 

"It may possibly be asked, what need there could be of such a pre- 
caution, and whether it may not become a pretext for alterations in the 
State governments, without the concurrence of the States themselves. 
These questions admit of ready answers. If the interposition of the 
General Government should not be needed, the provision for such an 
event will be a harmless superfluity only in the Constitution. But who 
can say what experiments may be produced by the caprice of particular 



404 

States, by the ambition of enterprising leaders, or by the intrigues and 
influence of foreign powers ? 

" To the second question it may be answered, that if the General Go- 
vernment should interpose by virtue of this Constitutional authority, it 
will be of course bound to pursue the authority. But the authority ex- 
tends no farther than to a guarantee of a republican form of government, 
which supposes a pre-existing government of the form which is to be 
guarantied. As long therefore as the existing republican forms are con- 
tinued by the States, they are guarantied by the Federal Constitution. 
Whenever the States may choose to substitute other republican forms, 
they have a right to do so, and to claim the Federal guarantee for the 
latter. The only restriction imposed on them is, that they shall not ex- 
change republican for anti-republican constitutions ; a restriction which, 
it is presumed, will hardly be considered as a grievance." 



THE "NEW STATES," 

ADMITTED INTO THE UNION SINCE THE ADOPTION OF THE CON- 
STITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, ARE AS FOLLOWS:— 

VERMONT, 

Formed from part of the territory of New York, with the consent of its Legis- 
lature, by act of March 6, 1790. (Vide Journal Senate of the United States, Feb. 9, 
1791, and appendix to Journal House of Representatives, vol. 1, p. 412.) Applica- 
tion of the Commissioners of Vermont to Congress for admission into the Union 
was received at Philadelphia, Feb. 9, 1791, a constitution having been formed 
Dec. 25, 1777. Vermont admitted by act of Congress approved Feb. IS, 1791, to 
take effect, i. e., "shall be received and admitted," on Marcli 4, 1791. 

Entitled to two Representatives by act of Congress Feb. 25, 1791. 

An act giving effect to laws of the United States in Vermont, after March 3, 
1791, approved March 2, 1791. 

A constitution adopted by Vermont, July 9, 1793. 

KENTUCKY, 

Formed from the territory of Virginia with the consent of its Legislature by act 
of Dec. 13, 17S9. (Vide Journal Senate of the United States, Dec. 9, 1790, and Bioren 
& Duane's edition Laws of the United States, vol. 1, page 673; and message or 
speech of President to Congress, Dec. 8, 1790.) Application of the convention of 
Kentucky received, Dec. 9, 1790. (See Journal House of Representatives, vol. 1, 
p. 411, appendix.) fits constitution not then formed.) Act of Congress for its re- 
ception and admission on June 1, 1792, approved on Feb. 4, 1791. 

Entitled to two Representatives, by act of Congress Feb. 25, 1791. 



(No act giving effect to laws of the United States in Kentucky.) 

A copy of the constitution formed for the State of Kentucky laid before Congress 

by the President of the United States, on November 7, 1792. A new constitution 

was adopted on August 17. 1799. 

TENNESSEE, 

Formed of territory ceded to the United States by the State of North Carolina, 
by act of December, 1789, conveyed to the United States by the Senators from North 
Carolina, Feb. 25, 1790, and accepted by act of Congress of April 2, 1790. An act for 
the government of the territory of the United States south of the river Ohio, was 
approved 26 May, 1790. See also act of 8 May, 1792. The people of that territory 
formed a convention, adopted a constitution on Feb. 6, 1796, and applied for admis- 
sion, (vide Journal House of Representatives, April 8, and Senate Journal, April 11, 
1796, and folio State Papers, " Miscellaneous," vol. 1, pp. 146 — 7, 150,) upon which 
" an act for the admission of the State of Tennessee into the Union was passed and 
approved, June 1, 1796, by which the laws of the United States were extended 
to that State, and it was allowed one Representative in Congress. 

The said laws were again extended to the State of Tennessee by an act approved 
January 31, 1797, and by an act approved February 19, 1799. (This last act divided 
the State into Eastern and Western Districts.) 

OHIO, 

Formed out of a part of the territory north-west of the river Ohio, which was 
ceded to the United States by the General Assembly of Virginia, at their sessions 
begun October 20, 1783, and accepted by the Congress of the United States, March 1, 
178-1. The act of Virginia was modified by act of Assembly of December 30, 1788, 
consenting that the territory be divided into not more than five, nor less than three, 
States. An act to provide for the government of the territory north-west of the 
river Ohio, was approved on August 7, 1789. This territory was divided into two 
separate governments by act of Congress of May 7, 1800. 

The census of the territory, and petitions from the people thereof, referred to com- 
mittee of the House of Representatives. (See Journal, January 29, 1802. See report 
March 4, 1802, folio State Papers, "Miscellaneous," vol. 1, p. 325.) An act to enable 
the people of the eastern division of said territory to form a constitution and State 
government was passed and approved April 30, 1802, by which that State was 
allowed one Representative in Congress. A constitution was accordingly formed on 
November 1, 1802, and presented to Congress. (See Journal Senate, January 7, 1S03.) 

The said people having, on November 39, 1803, complied with the act of 
Congress, of April 30, 1802, whereby the said State became one of the United States, 
au act was passed and approved on February 19, 1803, for the due execution of the 
laws of the United States, Ac, within that State. 

An act in addition to, and in modification of, the propositions contained in the act 
of April 30, 1802, was passed and approved on March 3d, 1803.

NORTH-WESTERN AND WESTERN TERRITORY. 

OHIO being the first State formed out of the territory 
north-west of the river Ohio, and admitted into the Union, 
it is deemed proper to insert here the circumstances and 
facts which led to the cession of that territory, and the 
principles agreed upon and established for the rule of its 
future government, which will apply equally to the other 
States formed out of this territory. 

Preliminary to the " Ordinance for the government of the Terri- 
tory of the United States north-west of the river Ohio, it may be 
proper to refer to the acts and proceedings which led to the cession 
of this and other territory to the United States by individual States; 
to the acts of cession themselves, and to other acts having a direct 
bearing upon this interesting subject. 

The attention of the whole country appears to have been first 
drawn to the subject, in a forcible manner, by the decided stand 
taken by the State of Maryland, during the discussion in the Con- 
gress upon the objections of certain States to the articles of Con- 
federation, in June, 1778. That State proposed, on the 22d June, 
1778, and afterwards insisted, that the boundaries of each of the 
States, as claimed to extend to the river Mississippi, or South Sea, 
should be ascertained and restricted, and that the property in the 
soil of the western territories be held for the common benefit of all 
the States. From that time until 2d February, 1781, the State of 
Maryland refused to accede to the articles of Confederation, incon- 
sequence of having failed to obtain an amendment upon that point, 
against which course Virginia had remonstrated. 

On the 25th November, 1778, the act of New Jersey for ratify- 
ing the articles of Confederation was presented, in which this and 
other difficulties were referred to; but their delegates were directed 
to sign those articles, " in the firm reliance that the candour and 
justice of the several States will, in due time, remove as far as 
possible the inequality which now subsists." 

The delegate from Delaware having signed the articles of Con- 
federation on the 22d February, 1779, presented on the 23d sundry 



407 

resolutions passed by the Legislature of that State, among- which 
the following- : 

" Resolved, That this State thinks it necessary, for the peace and 
safety of the States to be included in the Union, that a moderate 
extent of limits should be assigned for such of those States as 
claim to the Mississippi or South Sea ; and that the United States 
in Congress assembled, should, and ought to have the power of 
fixing their western limits." 

"Resolved, That this State consider themselves justly entitled to 
a right, in common with the members of the Union, to that exten- 
sive tract of country which lies westward of the frontiers of the 
United States, the property of which was not vested in, or granted 
to, individuals at the commencement of the present war : — That the 
same hath been, or may be, gained from the King of Great Britain, 
or the native Indians, by the blood and treasure of all, and ought 
therefore to be a common estate, to be granted out on terms bene- 
ficial to the United States." 

Upon which Congress passed the following resolution on the 
said 23d February, 1779, eight States voting in favor, and three 
against the same, viz. : 

" Resolved, That the paper laid before Congress by the delegate 
from Delaware, and read, be filed ; provided, that it shall never be 
considered as admitting any claim by the same set up or intended 
to be set up." 

On the 21st May, 1779, the delegates from Maryland laid before 
Congress the following instructions received by them : 

Instructions of the General Assembly of Maryland, to George Plater, 
William Paca, William Carmichael, John Henry, James Forbes, and 
Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer, esquires. 

Gentlemen: 

Having conferred upon you a trust of the highest nature, it is evident 
we place great confidence in your integrity, abilities, and zeal to promote 
the general welfare of the United States, and the particular interest of 
^tate, where the latter is not incompatible with the former; but, to 
add greater weight to your proceedings in Congress, and take away an 
suspicion that the opinions you there deliver, and the votes you 
give, may be the mere opinions of individuals, and not resulting 



408 



from your knowledge of the sense and deliberate judgment of the 
State you represent, we think it our duty to instruct as followeth 
on the subject of the Confederation — a subject in which, unfortu- 
nately, a supposed difference of interest has produced an almost equal 
division of sentiments among the several States composing the Union. 
We say a supposed difference of interests ; for if local attachments and 
prejudices, and the avarice and ambition of individuals, would give way 
to the dictates of a sound policy, founded on the principles of justice, 
(and no other policy but what is founded on those immutable principles 
deserves to be called sound,) we flatter ourselves this apparent diversity 
of interests would soon vanish, and all the States would confederate on 
terms mutually advantageous to all ; for they would then perceive that 
no other confederation than one so formed can be lasting, Although the 
pressure of immediate calamities, the dread of their continuance from 
the appearance of disunion, and some other peculiar circumstances, may 
have induced some States to accede to the present Confederation, con- 
trary to their own interests and judgments, it requires no great share of 
foresight to predict, that, when those causes cease to operate, the States 
which have thus acceded to the Confederation will consider it as no 
longer binding, and will eagerly embrace the first occasion of asserting 
their just rights, and securing their independence. Is it possible that 
those States who are ambitiously grasping at territories to which, in our 
judgment, they have not the least shadow of exclusive right, will use 
with greater moderation the increase of wealth and power derived from 
those territories, when acquired, than what they have displayed in their 
endeavors to acquire them? We think not. We are convinced the 
same spirit which hath prompted them to insist on a claim so extrava- 
gant, so repugnant to every principle of justice, so incompatible with the 
general welfare of all the States, will urge them on to add oppression to 
injustice. If they should not be incited by a superiority of wealth and 
strength to oppress by open force their less wealthy and less powerful 
neighbors, yet depopulation, and consequently the impoverishment of 
those States, will necessarily follow, which, by an unfair construction of 
the Confederation, may be stripped of a common interest, and the com- 
mon benefits derivable from the western country. Suppose, for instance, 
Virginia indisputably possessed of the extensive and fertile country to 
which she has set up a claim : what would be the probable consequences 
to Maryland of such an undisturbed and undisputed possession ? They 
cannot escape the least discerning. 

Virginia, by selling on the most moderate terms a small proportion oi 
the lands in question, would draw into her treasury vast sums of money, 



409 

and, in proportion to the sums arising from such sales, would be enabled 
to lessen her taxes. Lands comparatively cheap, and taxes compara- 
tively low, with the lands and taxes of an adjacent State, would quickly 
drain the State thus disadvantageously circumstanced of its most useful 
inhabitants: its wealth, and its consequence in the scale of the confede- 
rated States, would sink, of course. A claim so injurious to more than 
one-half, if not to the whole of the United States, ought to be supported by 
the clearest evidence of the right. Yet what evidences of that right have 
been produced ? What arguments alleged in support either of the evidence 
or the right ? None that we have heard of deserving a serious refutation. 
It has been said, that some of the delegates of a neighboring State- 
have declared their opinion of the impracticability of governing the ex- 
tensive dominion claimed by that State. Hence also the necessity was 
admitted of dividing its territory, and erecting a new State, under the 
auspices and direction of the elder, from whom, no doubt, it would re- 
ceive its form of government, to whom it would be bound by some alli- 
ance or confederacy, and by whose councils it would be influenced. Such 
a measure, if ever attempted, wonld certainly be opposed by the other 
States as inconsistent with the letter and spirit of the proposed Confede- 
ration. Should it take place by establishing a sub-confederacy, impe- 
rium in imperio, the State possessed of this extensive dominion must 
then either submit to all the inconveniences of an overgrown and un- 
wieldy government, or suffer the authority of Congress to interpose, at a 
future time, and to lop ofT a part of its territory, to be erected into a new 
and free State, and admitted into a confederation on such conditions as 
shall be settled by nine States. If it is necessary, for the happiness and 
tranquillity of a State thus overgrown, that Congress should hereafter 
interfere and divide its territory, why is the claim to that territory now 
made, and so pertinaciously insisted on? We can suggest to ourselves 
but two motives : either the declaration of relinquishing, at some future 
period, a proportion of the country now contended for, was made to lull 
suspicion asleep, and to cover the designs of a secret ambition, or, if the 
thought was seriously entertained, the lands are now claimed to reap an 
immediate profit from the sale. We are convinced, policy and justice re- 
quire that a country unsettled at the commencement of this war, 
claimed by the British crown, and ceded to it by the treaty of Paris, if 
wrested from the common enemy by the blood and treasure of the thir- 
teen States, should be considered as a common property, subject to be 
parcelled out by Congress into free, convenient, and independent govern- 
ments, in such manner and at such times as the wisdom of that assembly 
shall hereafter direct.

Thus convinced, we should betray the trust reposed in us by our con- 
stituents, were we to authorize you to ratify on their behalf the Confede- 
ration, unless it be farther explained. We have coolly and dispassion- 
ately considered the subject ; we have weighed probable inconveniences 
and hardships, against the sacrifice of just and essential rights; and do 
instruct you not to agree to the Confederation, unless an article or articles 
be added thereto in conformity with our declaration. Should we succeed 
in obtaining such article or articles, then you are hereby fully empowered 
to accede to the Confederation. 

That these our sentiments respecting our Confederation may be more 
publicly known, and more explicitly and concisely declared, we have 
drawn up the annexed declaration, which we instruct you to lay before 
Congress, to have it printed, and to deliver to each of the delegates of 
the other States in Congress assembled, copies thereof, signed by your- 
selves, or by such of you as may be present at the time of delivery ; to 
the intent and purpose that the copies aforesaid may be communicated to 
our brethren of the United States, and the contents of the said declara- 
tion taken into their serious and candid consideration. 

Also we desire and instruct you to move, at a proper time, that these 
instructions be read to Congress by their secretary, and entered on the 
journals of Congress. 

We have spoken with freedom, as becomes freemen ; and we sin- 
cerely wish that these our representations may make such an impression 
on that assembly as to induce them to make such addition to the Articles 
of Confederation as may bring about a permanent union.

Test: T. DUCKETT, C. H. D. 

On the 30th October, 1779, Congress, by a vote of eight States 
to" three, and one being divided, passed the following : 

Whereas the appropriation of vacant lands by the several States, 
during the continuance of the war, will, in the opinion of Con- 
gress, be attended with great mischiefs : therefore, 

Besolved, That it "be earnestly recommended to the State of Vir- 
ginia to reconsider their late act of Assembly for opening their land 
office ; and that it be recommended to the said State, and all other 
States similarly circumstanced, to forbear settling or issuing war- 
rants for unappropriated lands, or granting the same during the con- 
tinuance of the present war. 

On the 7th March, 1780, the delegates from New York presented 



411 

the following- act, (which was fully carried into effect by said dele- 
gates in Congress on 1st March, 1781 :) 

AN ACT to facilitate the completion of the Articles of Confederation 
and perpetual Union among the United States of America. 

"Whereas nothing under divine Providence can more effectually con- 
tribute to the tranquillity and safety of the United States of America 
than a federal alliance, on such liberal principles as will give satisfaction 
to its respective members : And whereas the Articles of Confederation 
and perpetual Union recommended by the honorable the Congress of the 
United States of America have not proved acceptable to all the States, 
it having been conceived that a portion of the waste and uncultivated 
territory within the limits or claims of certain States ought to be appro- 
priated as a common fund for the expenses of the war : And the people 
of the State of New York being on all occasions disposed to manifest 
their regard for their sister States, and their earnest desire to promote 
the general interest and security, and more especially to accelerate the 
federal alliance, by removing, as far as it depends upon them, the before- 
mentioned impediment to its final accomplishment : 

Be it therefore enacted, by the people of the State of New r York, re- 
presented in Senate and Assembly, and it is hereby enacted, by the au- 
thority of the same, That it shall and may be lawful to and for the dele- 
gates of this State in the honorable Congress of the United States of 
America, or the major part of such of them as shall be assembled in 
Congress, and they, the said delegates, or a major part of them, so as- 
sembled, are hereby fully authorized and empowered, for and on behalf 
of this State, and by proper and authentic acts or instruments, to limit 
and restrict the boundaries of this State, in the western parts thereof, 
by such line or lines, and in such manner and form, as they shall judge 
to be expedient, either with respect to the jurisdiction, as well as the 
right or pre-emption of soil, or reserving the jurisdiction in part, or in 
the whole, over the lands which may be ceded, or relinquished, with ;e- 
spect only to the right or pre-emption of the soil. 

And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the terri- 
tory which may be ceded or relinquished by virtue of this act, either 
w'wh respect to the jurisdiction, as w T ell as the right or pre-emption of 
soil, or the right or pre-emption of soil only, shall be and enure for the 
use and benefit of such of the United States as shall become members 
of the federal alliance of the said States, and for no other use or purpose 
wha ; < 

And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That all the 



412 

lands to be ceded and relinquished by virtue of this act, for the benefit 
of the United States, with respect to property, but which shall neverthe- 
less remain under the jurisdiction of this State, shall be disposed of and 
appropriated in such manner only as the Congress of the said States 
shall direct ; and that a warrant under the authority of Congress for sur- 
veying and laying out any part thereof, shall entitle the party in whose 
favor it shall issue to cause the same to be surveyed and laid out and re- 
turned, according to the directions of such warrant ; and thereupon let- 
ters patent, under the great seal of this State, shall pass to the grantee 
for the estate specified in the said warrant ; for which no other fee or re- 
ward shall be demanded or received than such as shall be allowed by 
Congress. 

Provided always, and be ^further enacted by the authority aforesaid, 
That the trust reposed by virtue of this act shall not be executed by the 
delegates of this State, unless at least three of the said delegates shall 
be present in Congress. 

STATE OF NEW YORK, ss. 
I do hereby certify that the aforegoing is a true copy of the original 
act passed the 19th of February, 1780, and lodged in the secretary's 
office. 

ROBERT HARPUR, Deputy Sec y of State, 

In view of the premises, the following proceedings 
took place : 

IN CONGRESS OF THE CONFEDERATION. 

Wednesday, September 6, 1780. 

Congress took into consideration the report of the committee to 
whom were referred the instructions of the General Assembly of Mary- 
land to their delegates in Congress, respecting the Articles of Confede- 
ration, and the declaration therein referred to ; the act of the Legislature 
of New York on the same subject, and the remonstrance of the General 
Assembly of Virginia ; which report was agreed to, and is in the words 
following : 

That having duly considered the several matters to them submitted, 
they conceive it unnecessary to examine into the merits or policy of the 
instructions or declarations of the General Assembly of Maryland, or of 
the remonstrance of the General Assembly of Virginia, as they involve 
questions, a discussion of which was declined, on mature consideration, 
when the Articles of Confederation were debated ; nor in the opinion 



413 

of the committee, can such questions be now revived with any prospect 
of conciliation ; that it appears more advisable to press upon those states 
which can remove the embarrassments respecting the western country, 
a liberal surrender of a portion of their territorial claims, since they can- 
not be preserved entire without endangering the stability of the general 
confederacy ; to remind them how indispensably necessary it is to 
establish the Federal Union on a fixed and permanent basis, and on 
principles acceptable to all its respective members ; how essential to 
public credit and confidence, to the support of our army, to the vigor of 
our councils, and success of our measures ; to our tranquillity at home, 
our reputation abroad, to our very existence as a free, sovereign, and 
independent people ; that they are fully persuaded the wisdom of the 
respective legislatures will lead them to a full and impartial considera- 
tion of a subject so interesting to the United States, and so necessary to 
the happy establishment of the Federal Union ; that they are confirmed 
in these expectations by a review of the before-mentioned act of the 
Legislature of New York, submitted to their consideration; that this 
act is expressly calculated to accelerate the Federal Alliance, by remov- 
ing, as far as depends on that State, the impediment arising from the 
western country, and for that purpose to yield up a portion of territorial 
claim for the general benefit ; Whereupon, 

Resolved, That copies of the several papers referred 
to the committee be transmitted, with a copy of the 
report, to the legislatures of the several States, and that 
it be earnestly recommended to those States, who have 
claims to the western country, to pass such laws, and give 
their delegates in Cong? % ess such powers as may effectually 
remove the only obstacle to a final ratification of the arti- 
cles of Confederation ; and that the Legislature of Mary- 
land be earnestly requested to authorize the delegates in 
Congress to subscribe the said articles. 

IN CONGRESS OF THE CONFEDERATION. 

Tuesday, October 10, 1780. 

Resolved, That the unappropriated lands that may be 
ceded or relinquished to the United States, by any parti- 
cular State, pursuant to the recommendation of Congress 



414 

of the 6th day of September last, shall be disposed of for 
the common benefit of the United States, and be settled 
and formed into distinct republican States, which shall 
become members of the Federal Union, and have the 
same rights of sovereignty, freedom, and independence, 
as the other States : that each State which shall be so 
formed shall contain a suitable extent of territory, not 
less than one hundred nor more than one hundred and 
fifty miles square, or as near thereto as circumstances 
will admit : that the necessary and reasonable expenses 
which any particular State shall have incurred since the 
commencement of the present war, in subduing any 
British posts, or in maintaining forts or garrisons within 
and for the defence, or in acquiring any part of the terri- 
tory that may be c£ded or relinquished to the United 
States, shall be reimbursed. 

That the said lands shall be granted or settled at such 
times, and under such regulations, as shall hereafter be 
agreed on by the United States, in Congress assembled, 
or any nine or more of them. 

In pursuance of the recommendation contained in the resolution of 
Congress of the 6th September, 1780, the following States made cessions 
of territory to the United States at the dates respectively stated: — 
The State of New York, on March 1, 1781. 
" Virginia « March 1, 1784. 

" do. " Dec. 30, 1788. By this act Virginia agreed to change 

the conditions of the act of cession of 1784 only so far as to 
ratify the 5th article of the compact or ordinance of 17S7, on 
page 420. 
Massachusetts, on April 19, 1785. 

Connecticut " September 14, 1786, confirmed May 30, 1S00. 
South Carolina K August 9, 1787. 
North Carolina " February 25, 1790. 
Georgia « April 24, 1S02. 



415 

For these cessions, &c, and for the convention between South Caro- 
lina and Georgia, of 28th April, 1787, see Bioren and Duane's edition of 
the Laws of the United States, Vol. 1. 

In relation to the government of the territory thus acquired by the 
United States, it may be sufficient to say, that the territory ceded by 
each state, except Virginia, was the subject of separate legislation by 
Congress, (as mentioned under the head of each of said States,) first as 
a dependent territory, and afterwards by being admitted into the Union 
as an independent member thereof. 

The North-western Territory, ceded by the Commonwealth of Vir- 
ginia, was the subject of special legislation by the Congress of the Con- 
federation ; first, by the passage of a resolution for its government, on 
the 23d April, 1784, and then by the adoption of an ordinance, whose 
importance renders its insertion here necessary : — 

AN ORDINANCE for the Government of the Territory of the 

United States, north-west of the river Ohio. 

Be it ordained by the United States in Congress assembled, That the 
said territory, for the purposes of temporary government, be one dis- 
trict ; subject, however, to be divided into two districts, as future cir- 
cumstances may, in the opinion of Congress, make it expedient. 

Be it ordained by the authority aforesaid, That the estates both of 
resident and non-resident proprietors in the said territory, dying intes- 
tate, shall descend to and be distributed among their children and the 
descendants of a deceased child in equal parts ; the descendants of a 
deceased child or grandchild to take the share of their deceased parent 
in equal parts among them ; and where there shall be no children or 
descendants, then in equal parts to the next of kin, in equal degree; and 
among collaterals, the children of a deceased brother or sister of the 
intestate shall have in equal parts among them their deceased parent's 
share ; and there shall in no case be a distinction between kindred of 
the whole and half blood ; saving in all cases to the widow of the intes- 
tate her third part of the real estate for life, and one-third part of the 
personal estate ; and this law relative to descents and dower shall re- 
main in full force until altered by the legislature of the district. And 
until (he governor and judges shall adopt laws as hereinafter mentioned, 
estates in the said territory may be devised or bequeathed by wills in 
writing, signed and sealed by him or her in whom the estare may be, 
(being of full age,) and attested by three witnesses ; and real estates may 
be conveyed by lease and release, or bargain and sale, signed, sealed, 
and delivered by the person, being of full age, in whom the estate may 



416 

be, and attested by two witnesses, provided such wills be duly proved, 
and such conveyances be acknowledged, or the execution thereof duly 
proved, and be recorded within one year after proper magistrates, courts, 
and registers shall be appointed for that purpose ; and personal property 
may be transferred by delivery, saving, however, to the French and Ca- 
nadian inhabitants, and other settlers of the Kaskaskies, Saint Vincent's, 
and the neighboring villages, who have heretofore professed themselves 
citizens of Virginia, their laws and customs now in force among them 
relative to the descent and conveyance of property. 

Be it ordainedby the authority aforesaid, That there shall be appointed 
from time to time, by Congress, a governor, whose commission shall 
continue in force for the term of three years, unless sooner revoked by 
Congress ; he shall reside in the district, and have a freehold estate 
therein, in one thousand acres of land, while in the exercise of his office. 

There shall be appointed from time to time, by Congress, a secretary, 
whose commission shall continue in force for four years, unless sooner 
revoked; he shall reside in the district, and have a freehold estate 
therein, in five hundred acres of land, while in the exercise of his office. 
It shall be his duty to keep and preserve the acts and laws passed by the 
legislature, and the public records of the district, and the proceedings of 
the governor in his executive department, and transmit authentic copies 
of such acts and proceedings every six months to the secretary of Con- 
gress. There shall also be appointed a court, to consist of three judges, 
any two of whom to form a court, who shall have a common-law juris- 
diction, and reside in the district, and have each therein a freehold 
estate in five hundred acres of land, while in the exercise of their offices; 
and their commissions shall continue in force during good behavior. 

The governor and judges, or a majority of them, shall adopt and pub- 
lish in the district such laws of the original States, criminal and civil, as 
may be necessary and best suited to the circumstances of the district, 
and report them to Congress from time to time, which laws shall be in 
force in the district until the organization of the General Assembly 
therein, unless disapproved of by Congress ; but afterwards, the legisla- 
ture shall have authority to alter them as they shall think fit. 

The governor, for the time being, shall be commander-in-chief of the 
militia, appoint and commission all officers in the same below the rank 
of general officers ; all general officers shall be appointed and commis- 
sioned by Congress. 

Previous to the organization of the General Assembly, the governor 
shall appoint such magistrates and other civil officers, in each county or 
township, as he shall find necessary for the preservation of the peace and 



417 

good order in the same. After the General Assembly shall be organ- 
ized, the powers and duties of magistrates and oilier civil officers shall 
be regulated and defined by the said Assembly ; but all magistrates and 
other civil officers, not herein otherwise directed, shall, during the con- 
tinuance of this temporary government, be appointed by the governor. 

For the prevention of crimes and injuries, the laws to be adopted or 
made shall have force in all parts of the district, and for the execution 
of process, criminal and civil, the governor shall make proper divisions 
thereof; and he shall proceed from time to time, as circumstances may 
require, to lay out the parts of the district in which the Indian titles 
shall have been extinguished into counties and townships, subject, how- 
ever, to such alterations as may thereafter be made by the legislature. 

So soon as there shall be five thousand free male inhabitants, of full 
age, in the district, upon giving proof thereof to the governor, they shall 
receive authority, with time and place, to elect representatives from 
their counties or townships, to represent them in the General Assembly; 
provided that, for every five hundred free male inhabitants, there shall 
be one representative, and so on progressively with the number of free 
male inhabitants shall the right of representation increase, until the 
number of representatives shall amount to twenty-five, after which the 
number and proportion of representatives shall be regulated by the legis- 
lature ; provided that no person be eligible or qualified to act as a repre- 
sentative unless he shall have been a citizen of one of the United States 
three years, and be a resident in the district, or unless he shall have 
resided in the district three years, and in either case shall likewise hold 
in his own right, in fee-simple, two hundred acres of land within the 
same: Provided also, that a freehold in fifty acres of land in the district, 
having been a citizen of one of the States, and being resident in the dis- 
trict, or the like freehold and two years' residence in the district, shall 
be necessary to qualify a man as an elector of a representative. 

The representatives thus elected shall serve for the term of two years, 
and, in case of the death of a representative, or removal from office, 
the governor shall issue a writ to the county or township for which he 
was a member to elect another in his stead, to serve for the residue of 
the term. 

The General Assembly, or Legislature, shall consist of tne governor, 
legislative council, and a house of representatives. The legislative 
council shall consist of five members, to continue in office five years, 
unless sooner removed by Congress, any three of whom to be a quorum, 
and the members of the council shall be nominated and appointed in the 
following manner, to wit : As soon as representatives shall be elected, 

39 



41S 

the governor shall appoint a time and place for them to meet together, 
and, when met, they shall nominate ten persons, residents in the district, 
and each possessed of a freehold in five hundred acres of land, and return 
their names to Congress ; five of whom Congress shall appoint and com- 
mission to serve as aforesaid ; and whenever a vacancy shall happen in 
the council, by death or removal from office, the house of representatives 
shall nominate two persons, qualified as aforesaid, for each vacancy, and 
return their names to Congress ; one of whom Congress shall appoint 
and commission for the residue of the term ; and every five years, four 
months at least before the expiration of the time of service of the mem- 
bers of council, the said house shall nominate ten persons, qualified as 
aforesaid, and return their names to Congress, five of whom Congress 
shall appoint and commission to serve as members of the council five 
years, unless sooner removed. And the governor, legislative council, 
and house of representatives, shall have authority to make laws, in all 
cases, for the good government of the district, not repugnant to the 
principles and articles in this ordinance established and declared. And 
all bills, having passed by a majority in the house, and by a majority in 
the council, shall be referred to the governor for his assent : but no bill 
or legislative act whatever, shall be of any force without his assent. 
The governor shall have power to convene, prorogue, and dissolve the 
General Assembly, when in his opinion it shall be expedient. 

The governor, judges, legislative council, secretary, and such other 
officers as Congress shall appoint in the district, shall take an oath or 
affirmation of fidelity, and of office ; the governor before the president 
of Congress, and all other officers before the governor. As soon as a 
legislature shall be formed in the district, the council and house assem- 
bled, in one room, shall have authority, by joint ballot, to elect a dele- 
gate to Congress, who shall have a seat in Congress, with a right of de- 
bating, but not of voting during this temporary government. 

And for extending the fundamental principles of civil and religious 
liberty, which form the basis whereon these republics, their laws, and 
constitutions are erected ; to fix and establish those principles as the 
basis of all laws, constitutions, and governments, which for ever here- 
after shall be formed in the said territory ; to provide, also, for the esta- 
blishment of States, and permanent government therein, and for their 
admission to a share in the federal councils on an equal footing with 
the original States, at as early periods as may be consistent with 
the general interest : 

It is hereby ordained and declared, by the authority aforesaid, That the 
Allowing articles shall be considered as articles of compact, between the 



419 

original States and the people and States in the said territory, and for 
ever remain unalterable, unless by common consent, to wit : 

Art. 1. No person, demeaning himself in a peaceable and orderly 
manner, shall ever be molested on account of his mode of worship or 
religious sentiments, in the said territory. 

Art. 2. The inhabitants of the said territory shall always be entitled 
to the benefits of the writ of habeas corpus, and of the trial by jury; 
of a proportionate representation of the people in the legislature, and 
of judicial proceedings according to the course of the common law. All 
persons shall be bailable, unless for capital offences, where the proof shall 
be evident, or the presumption great. All fines shall be moderate, and no 
cruel or unusual punishments shall be inflicted. No man shall be de- 
prived of his liberty or property, but by the judgment of his peers, or 
the law of the land, and should the public exigencies make it necessary, 
for the common preservation, to take any person's property, or to de- 
mand his particular services, full compensation shall be made for the 
same. And, in the just preservation of rights and property, it is under- 
stood and declared, that no law ought ever to be made, or have force in 
the said territory, that shall, in any manner whatever, interfere with, or 
affect private contracts or engagements, bona fide, and without fraud 
previously formed. 

Art. 3. Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good 
government, and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of 
education shall for ever be encouraged. The utmost good faith shall 
always be observed towards the Indians ; their lands and property shall 
never be taken from them without their consent ; and in their property, 
rights, and liberty, they never shall be invaded or disturbed, unless in 
just and lawful wars authorized by Congress ; but laws founded in jus- 
tice and humanity shall, from time to time, be made, for preventing 
wrongs being done to them, and for preserving peace and friendship with 
them. 

Art. 4. The said territory, and the States which may be formed 
therein, shall for ever remain a part of this confederacy of the United 
States of America, subject to the Articles of Confederation, and to such 
alterations therein as shall be constitutionally made ; and to all the acts 
and ordinances of the United States, in Congress assembled, conformable 
thereto. The inhabitants and settlers in the said territory shall be sub- 
ject to pay a part of the federal debts, contracted or to be contracted, and 
a proportional part of the expenses of government, to be apportioned on 
them by Congress, according to the same common rule and measure by 
which apportionments thereof shall be made on the other States: and 



420 

the taxes for paying their proportion shall be laid and levied by the au- 
thority and direction of the legislatures of the district or districts, or new 
States, as in the original States, within the time agreed upon by the 
United States, in Congress assembled. The legislatures of those dis- 
tricts, or new States, shall never interfere with the primary disposal of 
the soil by the United States, in Congress assembled, nor with any regu- 
lations Congress may find necessary, for securing the title in such soil, 
to the bona fide purchasers. No tax shall be imposed on lands, the pro- 
perty of the United States; and in no case shall non-resident proprietors 
be taxed higher than residents. The navigable waters leading into the 
Mississippi and St. Lawrence, and the carrying places between the 
same, shall be common highways, and for ever free, as well to the inha- 
bitants of the said territory as to the citizens of the United States, and 
those of any other States that may be admitted into the Confederacy, 
without any tax, impost, or duty therefor. 

Art. 5. There shall be formed in the said territory, not less than 
three, nor more than five States ; and the boundaries of the States, as 
soon as Virginia shall alter her act of cession, and consent to the same, 
shall become fixed and established as follows, to wit : the western State 
in the said territory, shall be bounded by the Mississippi, the Ohio, and 
Wabash rivers ; a direct line drawn from the Wabash and Post Vincents, 
due north, to the territorial line between the United States and Canada; 
and by the said territorial line to the Lake of the W^oods and Mississippi. 
The middle States shall be bounded by the said direct line, the Wabash, 
from Post Vincents to the Ohio, by the Ohio, by a direct line drawn 
due north from the mouth of the Great Miami to the said territorial line, 
and by the said territorial line. The eastern State shall be bounded by 
the last-mentioned direct line, the Ohio, Pennsylvania, and the said 
territorial line : provided, however, and it is further understood and de- 
clared, that the boundaries of these three States shall be subject so far 
to be altered, that, if Congress shall hereafter find it expedient, they 
shall have authority to form one or two States in that part of the said 
territory which lies north of an east and west line drawn through the 
southerly bend or extreme of Lake Michigan. And whenever any of the 
said States shall have sixty thousand free inhabitants therein, such State 
shall be admitted, by its delegates, into the Congress of. the United 
States, on an equal footing with the original States, in all respects what- 
ever ; and shall be at liberty to form a permanent constitution and State 
government; provided the constitution and government, so to be form- 
ed, shall be republican, and in conformity to the principles contained in 
these articles * and, so far as can be consistent with the general interest 



421 

of the Confederacy, such admission shall be allowed at an earlier period, 
and when there may be a less number of free inhabitants in the State 
than sixty thousand. 

Art. 6. There shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in 
the said territory, otherwise than in the punishment of crimes, whereof 
the party shall have been duly convicted ; provided, always, that any

boundaries particularly established by a proclamation of George Washington, 
President of the United States, on March 30, 1791, and by the "act concerning 
the District of Columbia," approved February 27, 1801, Congress assumed com- 
plete jurisdiction over the said district, as contemplated by the tamers of the 
constitution

CHAPTER 11. 

SOURCES OF HISTORICAL, POLITICAL, STATISTI- 
CAL, AND OTHER INFORMATION, REGARDING 
THE LEGISLATIVE, EXECUTIVE, AND JUDICIAL 
ACTION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED 
STATES OF AMERICA, IN POSSESSION OF THE 
PUBLIC OFFICES AT THE SEAT OF GOVERN- 
MENT: MARCH 3, 1847. 

In the course of experience in public business, it has been 
found that great embarrassment arises to persons entering into 
public life in obtaining a practical knowledge of the operations of 
the Government from its foundation to the period of their entering 
upon the arena — which knowledge cannot well be dispensed with 
by unbelievers in the doctrine that statesmanship comes by intuition 
or inspiration. They modestly approach the highly important and 
responsible stations in the legislative or executive branches of the 
Government to which the partiality of their fellow-citizens has 
called them, and prepare with diligence, however well acquainted 
with the general history of the country, to qualify themselves for 
a consistent, intelligent, and faithful discharge of duty, by a revi- 
sion of the acts and proceedings of their predecessors tending to 
or terminating in measures of state policy, which have either been 
confirmed by repeated legislation, or remain open questions for in- 
vestigation and discussion, and by an examination of the foreign 
and domestic relations, the matter and form of legislative business 
generally, and the facts and minutiae of cases requiring, by ap- 
pointment and a proper discharge of duty, particular attention. 

It may, therefore, not be unacceptable to citizens entering into 
public life, or to those who may expect at some future period to 
take part in public affairs, or to those who may desire to extend 
their information concerning the measures, policy, and business 



440 

concerns of the government, to be furnished with references to some 
of the sources and means of acquiring such information. 

To the uninitiated, the accumulated mass of books, records, and 
documents, contained in the public archives, is calculated to dampen 
the ardor, if not to repulse the ordinary scholar or man of business 
from the attempt to fathom the depths of the arcana ; and the pre- 
sent effort of the author and compiler to aid in this undertaking is 
more with the view of essaying a treatise which by extension and 
improvement may hereafter become a vade mecum to the statesman 
and legislator, and subserving the public interest and convenience, 
than with the hope of effecting such object in the present edition. 

The design of this undertaking is simply to refer to and briefly 
describe the books, records, and documents of a public character, 
to be found in the public archives at the Seat of Government, con- 
stituting the principal sources of political and statistical informa- 
tion. With a view of preserving perspicuity in the system, the 
whole will be arranged into classes and sections, as follows, viz. :

MENTARY AND OTHER HISTORY OF THE REVOLUTION.

The Legislative Journals of the Senate and House of Repre- 
sentatives, exhibit the action of Congress from the establishment of the 
Government under the Constitution, in the introduction, progress and 
enactment of the Laws of the United States ; they contain a record of 
the introduction by individual members of petitions, motions or resolu- 
tions, and bills ; notices of the reports of all committees, the names of 
the members voting on all subjects where the yeas and nays are de- 
manded ; all the messages from the President of the United States to 
either House of Congress, and the inaugural addresses, from the com- 
mencement of the Government, will be found at length upon the jour- 
nals ; a brief statement of the subject of every report or communication 
from the several Executive Departments and Bureaus is entered upon 
the Journal of the House to which it may be directed ; acts and resolu- 
tions of the State Legislatures are entered upon the Journals ; schedules 
of the electoral votes for President and Vice President are placed upon 
the Journals of both Houses, and the names of the members with those

committees, motions, resolutions and bills with references to all the pro- 
ceedings thereon, and generally to all the subjects treated of in the body 
of the Journal.

grounds of Legislation, from their voluminous nature and their number, 
could not be embodied within the narrow compass of the Journals. 

These are contained in the manuscript files and records, the printed 






445 

documents, and the reported speeches of the members of the two Houses 
to be sought for from various sources. 

The manuscript files and records are preserved in the office of the 
House in which they may have been presented, or to which they may 
have been communicated. The printed documents and speeches, how- 
ever, require a more particular description and reference, which will be 
given as concisely as practicable. 

CLASS No. 8. 

EMBRACING THE DOCUMENTS ORDERED TO BE PRINTED BY THE 

TWO HOUSES OF CONGRESS SINCE MARCH 4, 1789. 

These consist of messages from the President, reports from the seve- 
ral Executive Departments and Bureaus, reports of committees of the 
two Houses, with documents and tables communicated therewith, as 
well as memorials, petitions, resolutions of State Legislatures, and all 
other papers printed under the order of either House. These will be 
arranged into sections : — 

Sec. 1. The fclio edition of State Papers published under joint resolutions 
of Congress, and printed by Messrs. Gales &.Seaton, consists of 21 volumes. 

These documents were selected with much care from the mass of manuscript 
and printed documents, papers and books in the offices of the two Houses, from 
all sources, and upon all subjects, having deficiencies supplied from the archives 
and records of the Executive Departments. These were divided into ten different 
classes, according to their nature or subject, viz. : — 

4 vols. Foreign Relations. Vol. 1, from March 4, 17S9, to Feb. 28, 1797. 
Vol. 2, from Feb. 23, 1797, to Feb. 19, 1807.

There will also be included in this section the two additional volumes on Public 
Lands that were printed by Duff Green, by order of the Senate, viz. : — 

2 vols, on Public Lands. Vol. 4, from May 26, 1824, to Jan. 2, 1828. 
Vol. 5, from Jan. 2, 1828, to Jan. 21, 1834. 

In the compilation of these state papers, care was taken to render eacn class 
as complete as practicable. The authority for the publication, and the manner 
of proceeding in the execution of the work, will be found stated at the beginning 
of the first volume on Foreign Relations. As it purports to be a selection of those I 
documents and papers, it will not, of course, be expected to embrace every docu- 
ment and paper presented in or communicated to either House of Congress, as 
these can alone be found in the archives of Congress ; but it was intended that 
they should embrace every important document of the classes to which they re- 
spectively belong, considered valuable as precedents for the future action of the 
Government, or material in its political and statistical history, or as establishing 
principles in the allowance or rejection of private pecuniary claims against the 
Government, or in the settlement of private land claims. 

These state papers were printed under the authority of the act of Congress 
"making provision for a subscription to a compilation of congressional docu- 
ments," approved March 2, 1831, and continued under the joint resolution of 
March 2, 1833, which limited the continuation to eight volumes, and which, with 
those previously authorized, made twenty-one volumes. These were disposed 
of by a joint "resolution directing the distribution of a compilation of congres- 
sional documents, and for other purposes," approved July 10, 1832. 

CLASS No. 9. 

Sec. 1 WILL EMBRACE THE DOCUMENTS PRINTED IN OCTAVO 
FORM BY ORDER OF THE SENATE, during each session, from March 4, 
1789, to March 3, 1S47. These are numbered as they are sent to the printer ; 
loose copies are furnished to the members of both Houses of Congress and other 
public functionaries, and sometimes extra copies for distribution, as they are 
printed ; and other copies are retained and bound, in as many volumes as neces- 
sary, with copious indexes, for preservation, when the printing of each session is 
completed. The more important of these printed documents will be found re- 
printed, under their appropriate heads, in the folio state papers, where they will 
be found more conveniently, in connection with kindred subjects which had ac- 
cumulated from March 4, 17S9, to the time to which the class they belong to was 
reprinted, as stated in the preceding section ; from which time, recourse must be 
had to these bound documents of each session — every session having a separate 
index. 

In addition to these documents, the bills and resolutions of the Senate are 
printed in folio form, and distributed nearly as the octavo documents. Several 
copies of these have been bound into volumes, with indexes, since 1824^5. 

CLASS No. 10. 

Sec. 1 WILL EMBRACE THE DOCUMENTS PRINTED IN OCTAVO 
FORM BY ORDER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, from March 






447 

4. 1759. to March 3, 1547. These are divided into two separate series, each being 
numbered as sent to the printer. One series consists of the reports of commit- 
tees of the House of Representatives, with their accompanying documents ; and 
the other series consists of messages, reports, and documents, from the Executive 
Departments, and all other documents ordered to be printed by that House. Loose 
copies are furnished to members of both Houses of Congress, and other public 
functionaries, and sometimes extra copies for distribution, as they are printed ; 
and other copies are retained and bound, each series separately, (in as many vo- 
lumes as necessary, with separate indexes,) for preservation, when the printing 
of each session is completed. The more important of these documents, of both 
series, will be found reprinted, under their appropriate heads, in the folio state 
papers, as mentioned in the preceding section, as far as they extend ; from which 
time, recourse must be had to these bound documents of each session — every ses- 
sion having a separate index for each series of these documents. 

In addition to these documents, the bilis and joint resolutions of the House of 
Representatives have been printed in folio form, and distributed as the octavo 
documents. Several copies of these have been bound, with indexes, since lb'25. 

CLASS No. 11. 
DEBATES IN CONGRESS : 

Embracing the speeches made in the two Houses of Congress, from March 4, 
1759, to March 3, 1547. 

When it is desired to find the discussion in either House upon any par- 
ticular subject, it is necessary first to ascertain from the journal of the 
House in which the discussion has taken place, when, or on what days, 
such subject was under consideration in the House, and then seek for the 
publication of the proceedings of those days in the public newspapers 
that published such debates, or in the various compilations of debates, as 
either may be found to embrace the time at which the discussion may 
have taken place. 

Sec. 1. The compilation of Joseph Gales, senior, in 2 volumes, contains the de- 
bates in the first Congress. 1759 to 1791.

CLASS No. 20. 
THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS. 

The library provided for Congress, after the removal of the Govern- 
ment to Washington, having been destroyed in the burning of the Capi- 
tol by the enemy, in 1814, the valuable library of Thomas Jefferson, 
which, with the best opportunities and his well-known ability, it had 
taken that eminent statesman a long series of years to accumulate, was 
purchased for Congress, under a joint resolution of October 21, 1814, 
and an act of January 30, 1815, and now constitutes the basis of the 
Congressional or National Library. Upon this foundation Congress 
have, by a moderate but regular process, been adding to the volume of 
literature, science, and the fine arts, which, in the acquisition of the 
library of that republican patriarch, had already adorned the Capitol of 
the republic; and by the operation of this regular annual provision, 
managed, as it has been, and will continue to be, by the united judgment 
of the joint committee of the two Houses of Congress, aided in their 
active measures by their literary agents, and by the zeal and experience 
of the worthy librarian and his assistants, is destined to become an ample 
source of useful knowledge, which, through the able minds and eloquent 
voices of the distinguished representatives of the States and of the peo- 
ple, as well as of those of other citizens who have free access to this pe- 
rennial source, will be diffused through the country for the public benefit, 
elevating its literary taste and character, purifying its moral sentiment, 
and increasing its power; for true knowledge, communicated through 
pure channels, is the solid source of these and other national blessings. 

The limited space to which we are here necessarily confined will only 
admit of a reference to the general heads or chapters embraced in 
this collection, and to a few particulars which the political history and 
public transactions of our own country may render more immediately in- 
teresting.

TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, 
WE THE UNDERSIGNED DELEGATES OF THE STATES 
AFFIXED TO OUR NAMES, SEND GREETING.— Whereas the 

Delegates of the United States of America in Congress assembled did on

shire, Massachusetts-bay, Rhode-island and Providence Plantations,

472 

ARTICLE III. The said states hereby severally enter into a firm 
league of friendship with each other, for their common defence, the 
security of their Liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, bind- 
ing themselves to assist each other, against all force offered to. or attacks

ARTICLE IV. The better to secure and perpetuate mutual friend- 
ship and intercourse among the people of the different states in this 
union, the free inhabitants of each of these states, paupers, vagabonds,!

and immunities of free citizens in the several states ; and the people of 
each state shall have free ingress and regress to and from any other 
state, and shall enjoy therein all the privileges of trade and commerce, 
subject to the same duties, impositions and restrictions as the inhabitants 
thereof respectively, provided that such restriction shall not extend so 
far as to prevent the removal of property imported into any state, to any 
other state of which the Owner is an inhabitant ; provided also that no 
imposition, duties or restriction shall be laid by any state, on the pro- 
perty of the united states, or either of them. 

If any person guilty of, or charged with treason, felony, or other hign 
misdemeanor in any state, shall flee from Justice, and be found in any 
of the united states, he shall upon demand of the Governor or executive 
power, of the state from which he fled, be delivered up and removed 
to the state having jurisdiction of his offence. 

Full faith and credit shall be given in each of these states to the re- 
cords, acts and judicial proceedings of the courts and magistrates of 
every other state. 

ARTICLE V. For the more convenient management of the general 
interest of the united states, delegates shall be annually appointed in 
such manner as the legislature of each state shall direct, to meet in con- 
gress on the first Monday in November, in every year, with a power 
reserved to each state, to recal its delegates, or any of them, at any time 
within the year, and to send others in their stead, for the remainder of 
the Year. 

No state shall be represented in congress by less than two, nor by 
more than seven members ; and no person shall be capable of being a 
delegate for more than three years in any term of six years; nor shall 
any person, being a delegate, be capable of holding any office under the

prince or foreign state; nor shall the united states in congress assembled, 
or any of them, grant any title of nobilijy.

any stipulations in treaties, entered into by the united states in congress 
assembled, with any king, prince or state, in pursuance of any treaties 
already proposed by congress, to the courts of France and Spain. 

No vessels of war shall be kept up in time of peace by any state, ex- 
cept such number only, as shall be deemed necessary by the united 
states in congress assembled, for the defence of such state, or its trade ; 
nor shall any body of forces be kept up by any state, in time of peace, 
except such number only, as in the judgment of the united states, in 
congress assembled, shall be deemed requisite to garrison the forts ne- 
cessary for the defence of such state ; but every state shall always keep 
up a well regulated and disciplined militia, sufficiently armed and ac- 
coutred, and shall provide and have constantly ready for use, in public 
stores, a due number of field pieces and tents, and a proper quantity of 
arms, ammunition and camp equipage. 

No state shall engage in any "war without the consent of the united 
states in congress assembled, unless such state be actually invaded by 
enemies, or shall "have received certain advice of a resolution being 
formed by some nation of Indians to invade such state, and the danger 
is so imminent as not to admit of a delay, till the united states in con- 
gress assembled can be consulted : nor shall any state grant commissions 
to any ships or vessels of war, nor letters of marque or reprisal, except 
it be after a declaration of war by the united states in congress assembled, 
and then only against the kingdom or state and the subjects thereof, 
against which war has been so declared, and under such regulations as 
shall be established by the united states in congress assembled, unless 
such state be infested by pirates, in which case vessels of war may be 
fitted out for that occasion, and kept so long as the danger shall con- 
tinue, or until the united states in congress assembled shall determine 
otherwise. 

ARTICLE VII. When land-forces are raised by any state for the 
common defence, all officers of or under the rank of colonel, shall be

2 H 



474 

forces shall be raised, or in such manner as such state shall direct, and 
all vacancies shall be filled up by the state which first made the ap- 
pointment. 

ARTICLE VIII. All charges of war, and all other expenses that 
shall be incurred for the common defence or general welfare, and allowed 
by the united states in congress assembled, shall be defrayed out of a 
common treasury, which shall be supplied by the several states, in pro- 
portion to the value of all land within each state, granted to or surveyed 
for any Person, as such land and the buildings and improvements 
thereon shall be estimated according to such mode as the united states 
in congress assembled, shall from time to time, direct and appoint. The 
taxes for paying that proportion shall be laid and levied by the authority 
and direction of the legislatures of the several states within the time 
agreed upon by the united states in congress assembled. 

ARTICLE IX. The united states in congress assembled, shall have 
the sole and exclusive right and power of determining on peace and 
war, except in the cases mentioned in the 6th article — of sending and 
receiving ambassadors — entering into treaties and alliances, provided 
that no treaty of commerce shall be made whereby the legislative power 
of the respective states shall be restrained from imposing such imposts 
and duties on foreigners, as their own people are subjected to, or from 
prohibiting the exportation or importation of any species of goods or 
commodities whatsoever — of establishing rules for deciding in all cases,

prizes taken by land or naval forces in the service of the united states 
shall be divided or appropriated — of granting letters of marque and 
reprisal in times of peace — appointing courts for the trial of piracies and 
felonies committed on the high seas and establishing courts for receiving 
and determining finally appeals in all cases of captures, provided that 
no member of congress shall be appointed a judge of any of the said 
courts. 

The united states in congress assembled shall also be the last resort 
on appeal in all disputes and differences now subsisting or that here- 
after may arise between two or more states concerning boundary, juris- 
diction or any other cause whatever ; which authority shall always be 
exercised in the manner following. Whenever the legislative or execu- 
tive authority or lawful agent of any state in controversy with another 
shall present a petition to congress, stating the matter in question and 
praying for a hearing, notice thereof shall be given by order of congress 
to the legislative or executive authority of the other state in controversy, 
and a day assigned for the appearance of the parties by their lawful 
agents, who shall then be directed to appoint by joint consent, commis- 
sioners or judges to constitute a court for hearing and determining the 
matter in question : but if they cannot agree, congress shall name three 
persons out of each of the united states, and from the list of such per- 
sons each party shall alternately strike out one, the petitioners beginning, 
until the number shall be reduced to thirteen j and from that number 






475 

not less than seven, nor more than nine names as congress shall direct, 
shall in the presence of congress be drawn out by lot, and the persons 
whose names shall be so drawn or any live of them, shall bo commis- 
sioners or judges, to hear and finally determine the controversy, so 
always as a major part of the judges who shall hear the cause shall 
e in the determination: and if either party shall neglect to attend 
at the day appointed, without showing reasons, which congress shall 
ludge sufficient, or being present shall refuse to strike, the congress shall 
proceed to nominate three persons out of each state, and the secretary 
of congress shall strike in behalf o," such party absent or refusing ; and 
the judgment and sentence of the court to be appointed, in the manner 
before prescribed, shall be final and conclusive : and if any of the par- 
ties shall refuse to submit to the authority of such court, or to appear or 
defend their claim or cause, the court shall nevertheless proceed to pro- 
nounce sentence, or judgment, which shall in like manner be final and 
decisive, the judgment or sentence and other proceedings being in either 
case transmitted to congress, a d lodged among the acts of congress for 
the security of the parties concerned : provided that every commissioner, 
before he sits in judgment, shall take an oath to be administered by one 
of the judges of the supreme or superior court of the state, where the 
cause shall be tried, " well and truly to hear and determine the matter 
in question, according to the best of his judgment, without favour, arfec- 
tion or hope of reward:" provided also that no state shall be deprived 
of territory for the benefit of the united states. 

All controversies concerning the private right of soil claimed under 
different grants of two or more states, whose jurisdictions as they may 
respect such lands, and the states which passed such grants are ad- 
justed, the said grants or either of them being at the same time claimed 
to have originated antecedent to such settlement of jurisdiction, shall on 
the petition of either party to the congress of the united states.be finally 
determined as near as may be in the same manner as is "before pre- 
scribed for deciding disputes respecting territorial jurisdiction between 
different states. 

The united states in congress assembled shall also have the sole and 
exclusive right and power of regulating the alloy and value of coin 
struck by their own authority, or by that of the respective states — fixing 
the standard of weights and measures throughout the United States — 
regulating the trade and managing all affairs with the Indians, not mem- 
bers of any of the states, provided that the legislative right of any state 
within its own limits be not infringed or violated — establishing or regu- 
lating post-offices from one state to another, throughout all the united 
states, and exacting such postage on the papers passing thro' the same 
as may be requisite to defray the expenses of the said office — appointing 
all officers of the land forces, in the service of the united states, except- 
cgimental officers — appointing all the officers of the naval forces, 
and commissioning all officers whatever in the service of the united 
states — making rules for the government and regulation of the said land 
naval forces, and directing their operations. 



i 



476 

The united states in congress assembled shall have authority to ap- 
point a committee, to sit in the recess of congress, to be denominated 
" A Committee of the States,"' and to consist of one delegate from each 
state ; and to appoint such other committees and civil officers as may 
be necessary for managing the general affairs of the united states under 
their direction — to appoint one of their number to preside, provided that 
no person be allowed to serve in the office of president more than one 
year in any term of three years ; to ascertain the necessary sums of 
Money to be raised for the service of the united states, and to appropri- 
ate and apply the same for defraying the public expenses — to borrow 
money, or emit bills on the credit of the united states, transmitting every 
half year to the respective states an account of the sums of money so 
borrowed or emitted, — to build and equip a navy — to agree upon the 
number of land forces, and to make requisitions from each state for its 
quota, in proportion to the number of wkite inhabitants in such state ; 
which requisition shall be binding, and thereupon the legislature of each 
state shall appoint the regimental officers, raise the men and cloath, arm 
and equip them in a soldier like manner, at the expense of the united 
states : and the officers and men so cloathed, armed and equipped shall 
march to the place appointed, and within the time agreed on by the 
united states in congress assembled : But if the united states in congress 
assembled shall, on consideration of circumstances judge proper that 
any state should not raise men, or should raise a smaller number than 
its quota, and that any other state should raise a greater number of men 
than the quota thereof, such extra number shall be raised, officered, 
cloathed, armed and equipped in the same manner as the quota of such 
state, unless the legislature of such state shall judge that such extra num- 
ber cannot be safely spared out of the same, in which case they shall 
raise officer, cloath, arm and equip as many of such extra number as 
they judge can be safely spared. And the officers and men so cloathed, 
armed and equipped, shall march to the place appointed, and within 
the time agreed on by the united states in congress assembled. 

The united states in congress assembled shall never engage in a war, 
nor grant letters of marque and reprisal in time of peace, nor enter into 
any treaties or alliances, nor coin money, nor regulate the value thereof, 
nor ascertain the sums and expenses necessary for the defence and 
welfare of the united states, or any of them, nor emit bills, nor borrow 
money on the credit of the united states, nor approrpiate money, nor 
agree upon the number of vessels of war, to be built or purchased, or 
the number of land or sea forces to be raised, nor appoint a commander 
in chief of the army or navy, unless nine states assent to the same: nor 
shall a question on any other point, except for adjourning from day to 
day be determined, unless by the votes of a majority of the united states 
in congress assembled. 

The Congress of the united states shall have power to adjourn to any 
time within the year, and to any place within the united states, so that 
no period of adjournment be for a longer duration than the space of six 
months, and shall publish the Journal of their proceedings monthly, ex- 



477 

cept such parts thereof relating to treaties, alliances or military opera- 
tions, as in their judgment require secrecy ; and the yeas and nays of 
the delegates of each state on any question shall be entered on the Jour- 
nal, when it is desired by any delegate ; and the delegates of a state, or 
any of them, at his or their request shall be furnished with a transcript 
of the said Journal, except such parts as are above excepted, to lay be- 
fore the legislatures of the several states. 

ARTICLE X. The committee of the states, or any nine of them, shall 
be authorized to execute, in the recess of congress, such of the powers 
of congress as the united states in congress assembled, by the consent 
of nine states, shall from time to time think expedient to vest them 
with ; provided that no power be delegated to the said committee, for 
the exercise of which, by the articles of confederation, the voice of nine 
states in the congress of the united states assembled is requisite. 

ARTICLE XL Canada acceding to this confederation, and joining in 
the measures of the united states, shall be admitted into, and entitled to 
all the advantages of this union : but no other colony shall be admitted 
into the same, unless such admission be agreed to by nine states. 

ARTICLE XII. All bills of credit emitted, monies borrowed and 
debts contracted by, or under the authority of congress, before the assem- 
bling of the united states, in pursuance of the present confederation, 
shall be deemed and considered as a charge against the united states, 
for- payment and satisfaction whereof the said united states, and the 
public faith are hereby solemnly pledged. 

ARTICLE XIII. Every state shall abide by the determinations of 
the united states in congress assembled, on all questions which by this 
confederation is submitted to them. And the Articles of this confedera- 
tion shall be inviolably observed by every state, and the union shall be 
perpetual ; nor shall any alteration at any time hereafter be made in 
any of them ; unless such alteration be agreed to in a congress of the 
united states, and be afterwards confirmed by the legislatures of every 
state. 

And Whereas it hath pleased the Great Governor of the World to in- 
cline the hearts of the legislatures we respectively represent in congress, 
to approve of, and to authorize us to ratify the said articles of confedera- 
tion and perpetual union. Know Ye that we the undersigned delegates, 
by virtue of the power and authority to us given for that purpose, do by 
these presents, in the name and in behalf of our respective constituents, 
fully ana entirely ratify and confirm each and every of the said articles 
of confederation and perpetual union, and all and singular the matters 
and things therein contained: And we do further solemnly plight and 
engage the faith of our respective constituents, that they shall abide by 
the determinations of the united states in congress assembled, on all 
questions, which by the said confederation are submitted to them. And
